2 Rafael Nadal vs Nicolas Almagro - H2H: 5-0
In fact, (and not surprisingly) in sets played Rafa leads 12-1.
Rafa is playing in his 33rd Masters 1000 semifinal: 23-9.
A win tomorrow will put Rafa back at #2 - overtaking Novak Djokovic.
Nicolas has never been to a Masters 1000 semifinal.
This result will get him seeded for Roland Garros & perhaps a dark horse.
