    Seven-time Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal, of Spain, the No. 3 seed, faced off against the highest ranked player ever from Japan, Kei Nishikori, the No. 13 seed, and prevailed 6-4, 6-1, 6-3. Nadal is seeking a record eighth French Open title.

He’ll face Novak Djokovic in the next round. The last time they played was in March at the Miami Masters, when the German upset Djokovic 6-2, 6-4. Haas, coming back from injury several times, has twice been named Comeback Player of the Year, including last year.

    Djokovic, the No. 1 seed, rebounded after losing the first set, beating the German Philipp Kohlschreiber, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.

    In the last men’s match of the day, the Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka (No. 9) came back from two sets down to defeat Richard Gasquet, of France, the No. 7 seed, 6-7(5), 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, 8-6.

    Robredo/Federer Wins 5-Setters; Advance to Roland Garros Quarterfinals

    Tommy Robredo, the 31-year-old Spaniard, came back from two sets down today, to beat fellow countryman Nicolas Almagro, 6-7(5), 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

    It was Robredo’s third five-setter in a row, each time losing the first two sets. In the second round he beat Igor Sijsling, of the Netherlands, 6-7(2), 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, 6-1; in the third round the Spaniard beat local favorite Frenchman Gael Monfils, 2-6, 6-7(5), 6-2, 7-6(3), 6-2.

    David Ferrer, also of Spain, made quick work of taking down the tall South African Kevin Anderson, 6-3, 6-1, 6-1.

    Robredo and Ferrer will now face off in the quarterfinals, thus guaranteeing at least one Spaniard making it through to the semis.

    The Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the No. 6 seed, beat Viktor Troicki, of Serbia, in straight sets: 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.

    In the final men’s match of the day, Roger Federer, the No. 2 seed, and former Roland Garros champion, had to go five sets against the Frenchman Gilles Simon (15), before sealing the victory, 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3. After winning the first set, the Swiss played a sloppy second and third sets, before rebounding in the fourth, eventually closing it out 6-3 in the fifth.
