PARIS—Rafael Nadal’s French Open set streak is over. His pursuit of a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title—including 14 at Roland Garros—remains very much intact.
Nadal shrugged off dropping a set in Paris for the first time in two years and regained control Wednesday, whipping violent forehands punctuated with first pumps and yells of “Vamos!” en route to a 6–3, 4–6, 6–4, 6–0 victory over 10th-seeded Diego Schwartzman to reach the semifinals at the clay-court major tournament.
