Tennis - Gonzalez Destroys Nadal Challenge
Last updated: 13/03/2008 17:05
Fernando Gonzalez blew away second seed Rafael Nadal to reach his first Grand Slam semi-final at the Australian Open.
The powerful Chilean dominated from the outset, winning 6-2 6-4 6-3 to set up a clash with Germany's Tommy Haas, who earlier beat Nikolay Davydenko.
Nadal was below par, contributing 21 errors and just 14 winners, but he was ultimately undone by the awesome shotmaking of an inspired opponent.
Gonzalez needed just over two hours to complete the best win of his career.
