Paris: Rafael Nadal believes his record of nine French Open titles can be beaten, even if fellow Roland Garros legend Gustavo Kuerten believes it may take an extra-terrestrial to do it.
"Nine in 10 years. I&rsquo;m sure it will never happen again. It's impossible," said triple champion Kuerten. "Rafa... he's not from this world."

But Nadal, who stayed on course for a 10th title on Saturday when he swept into the fourth round, insists that his record is far from secure.
"First of all, I am from this planet, I think," smiled Nadal after his 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 win over Russian world number 120 Andrey Kuznetsov.
Nadal, chasing a 10th Roland Garros title, will tackle Jack Sock of the United States for a place in the quarter-finals. "Second thing, thanks to Guga for the words. Third thing, it's true that it is probably a tough record to beat. But at the same time, I tell you one thing: If I did it, somebody else can do it."
