The Spaniard looks set to face defending champion Roger Federer in the final for the third year running.
From the moment Nadal, runner-up here for the last two years, broke serve in the eighth game the outcome was inevitable and Murray sank under a barrage of baseline thunderbolts.
French Open champion Nadal broke serve twice in the second set and pounced again at 3-3 in the third. Murray had battled back from two sets and a break down against Gasquet but Nadal was relentless as he stormed into the semi-final agaisnt either Rainer Schuettler or Arnaud Clement.
