Nadal, bidding for a 10th title at Roland Garros, was leading
6-2 2-0 when Carreno Busta decided he could not continue after
receiving lengthy treatment for a left abdominal muscle injury
at the end of the first set.
The 31-year-old Nadal has spent only around eight hours on
court, dropping 22 games in the process, to reach his
record-extending 10th semi-final at the French Open.
It is the fewest number of games Nadal has lost on his way to
the last four on the Paris clay. In 2008, he dropped 25.
He will face either defending champion Novak Djokovic or
Austrian Dominic Thiem next.
