NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rafa Nadal comfortably dealt with France's Richard Gasquet 6-4 7-6(1) 6-2 on Saturday to move into the final of the U.S. Open where he faces a highly anticipated clash with world number one Novak Djokovic.

After Djokovic needed five sets to deal with a determined Stanislas Wawrinka in their earlier semi-final, second-seed Nadal's task was almost routine against an opponent he has now beaten in all 11 meetings.
