Nadal on Collision course with Federer
Rafeal Nadal advanced to the semi-finals of the Monte Carlo Classic and remains on course to meet up in the finals against Roger Federer.
Federer defeated David Nalbandian 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 to advance while Nadal defeated fellow Spaniard David Ferrer.
Federer remains on course for a third straight final against three-time defending champion Rafael Nadal, who beat No. 5 David Ferrer of Spain 6-1, 7-5.
Nadal was troubled by Ferrer’s big forehand in the second set. The 2007 Masters Cup finalist broke Nadal’s serve twice to lead 3-0, and was then 40-15 up on his serve before Nadal broke back for 3-1.
Serving for the set at 5-4, Ferrer led 40-0 but then crumbled, allowing Nadal to draw even at 5-5.
Roger Federer will face Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will match up against Nikolay Davydenko in the semi-finals. Hopefully the World numbers 1 and 2 can set up a final full of star power.
