Russian 17th seed

Russian 17th seed Youzhny traded blows with the French Open champion from the baseline but Nadal overpowered his rival with some typically ferocious shots.The 22-year-old, who is on course for a third successive final at the All England Club, overcame an early injury scare to post his straight-sets victory.Nadal earned himself three break points in the fourth and pushed ahead when Youzhny hit the net on the third, but the second seed found himself in trouble a game later, firing a simple forehand wide to immediately concede his advantage.The Majorcan was back in business when a cleverly-disguised drop shot secured break point and he concluded an enthralling rally with a brutal winner.Youzhny kept his composure as he fell victim to two dreadful line calls in the eighth but he was only delaying the inevitable.
Nadal was in danger of running away with it as he broke in the fourth game of the second set with Youzhny doing the hard work only to overhit what should have been the winner.
