Spaniard to play Djokovic or Berrettini on Friday
Rafael Nadal saw his 36-set winning streak end on Parisian clay Wednesday, but the Spanish superstar battled through to a record-extending 14th Roland Garros semi-final.
The 13-time champion improved to a 105-2 match record at the clay-court Grand Slam following a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 victory over Argentine 10th seed Diego Schwartzman in two hours and 45 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Nadal, who is bidding to capture a record 21st major crown, lost the final three games of the second set in front of 5,000 spectators, but regrouped in the third set and from a 3-4 deficit put his foot down to win nine straight games, and 20 of 21 service points in a row.
