This year, he is focused is so squarely on winning a record seventh French Open that he couldn't even remember exactly when he will turn 26."When is my birthday?" Nadal said Thursday after being asked if he had anything special planned. "I don't know the day."When you play on clay like Nadal, the only date to remember is the day of the French Open final, and that's exactly a week later this year."Difficult to celebrate ... when you are in the middle of the tournament, but sure, I'm going to go for dinner with the team," Nadal said. "I don't know if some family going to come. I don't know yet."The second-seeded Nadal improved his French Open record to 47-1 on Thursday, beating Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan 6-2, 6-2, 6-0.
