PARIS (Reuters) - Spaniard David Ferrer set up a likely quarter-final against defending champion Rafa Nadal, who beat him in last year's final, with a 6-3 6-3 6-7(5) 6-1 victory over Kevin Anderson at the French Open on Monday.

The fifth seed reached his 10th straight grand slam last eight by beating the 2.03 metre (6ft 8in) South African, who towers nearly 30 cm (1 ft) above him.
