The mantle of the oldest man left in the men's draw at the French Open no longer resides with Jonas Bjorkman. In a match where he was mostly statistically better than Carlos Moya, Bjork succumbed in straight sets. Bjorkman had fewer unforced errors, about as many winners, but really couldn't handle Moya's serves (or at least, his service games).
Moya will now have the joy of facing number 2 seed, and fellow Spaniard, Rafael Nadal. Moya is now the oldest remaining player. Nadal should still be highly favored, though Spaniards tend to be confident playing one another.
Nadal, for his part, beat Lleyton Hewitt in straight sets and has yet to drop a set. He's doing his part in a collision course with Federer. The two seem certain to meet one another.
Finals this weekend.
