The 2013 French Open will be entering into quarterfinals action on Wednesday, and these matches feature plenty of star power.

Rafael Nadal vs. Stanislas Wawrinka

This matchup is a pretty easy one for Rafael Nadal, who has just one loss at this event.

Nadal beat Wawrinka in May at the finals of the Madrid Open. The match, which was won in straight sets, was even more proof of Nadal's dominance on clay. Speaking to ESPN, Wawrinka said as much, noting that "Nadal showed again that he is the best on clay."



There's no reason to think that Nadal's dominance on clay will end anytime soon, as the Spanish star is 9-0 against Wawrinka in his career and is cruising right now.
