The Latest: Nadal firing at French? Still too early to tell (Yahoo Sports)

The Latest from the French Open: --- 5:47 p.m. So, the big question: Is Rafael Nadal firing on all cylinders in his quest for a 10th French Open title? Andrey Kuznetsov certainly wasn't a reliable gauge of the 14-time Grand Slam champion's form in a clay-court season when his ranking has slipped to seventh - the Spaniard's lowest spot in a decade - and which Nadal himself acknowledges has been ''up and down.'' Kuznetsov, ranked 120th, folded 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 in their third-round match Saturday. ''Being in the fourth round is great news for me,'' Nadal said after stretching his Roland Garros winning streak to 38 matches.
