Andy Murray believes that Rafael Nadal will go on to win this year's French Open at Roland Garros.

Andy Murray has backed Rafael Nadal to clinch a record seventh title at this year's French Open.

The world number four was speaking after his four-sets defeat to Nadal's fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in Wednesday's quarter-final at Roland Garros.

"I think the four best clay court players in the world are left in and whoever plays best will win," Murray told reporters. "[I'd] probably have to favour Rafa slightly, but everyone is playing very, very well."

Nadal will meet Ferrer in the last four, while Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer complete the lineup.
