Spanish teenage tennis star Rafael Nadal aims for new record
 Spanish teenage tennis star Rafael Nadal aims to set a new record for consecutive wins on clay if he can get past Robin Soderling at the French Open on Monday.
Rafael Nadal, who is currently level with Guillermo Vilas on 53 wins, closes play on the Chatrier court.
"I need one more match and I'm going to try my best - not to beat the record but to win Roland Garros," said Rafael Nadal.
British number one Greg Rusedski is also playing on day two in Paris against Chilean tennis player Paul Capdeville and the match is third on Court 16.
In the women's tournament, world number two Kim Clijsters and American Venus Williams are the main players to look out for.
Kim Clijsters faces French player Virginie Razzano on Chatrier, while Venus Williams plays against Austrian Sybille Bammer in the last match on Lenglen.
And Richard Gasquet's bid to improve on recent poor performance when he faces Yeu-Tzuoo Wang of Taiwan is another attraction.
