Madrid Masters Series 1000 - Semifinal
1 Rafael Nadal d 3 Roger Federer - 57 61 63
Truth be told, this one was not the highest quality of their matches.
But in the end Rafa prevailed lifting his H2H against Rog to 16-8.
Quick rematch: They are seeded to meet in the Sf's at Rome next week.
Rafa's clay streak extends to 37 - his last loss was the 4th R at RG in '09.
Rafa will be seeking a 3rd title in Madrid in his 4th final round showing.
This marks his 28th trip to a Masters 1000 final: 19-8.
Of note: Rafa's made the finals of all 4 Masters 1000 events so far this year.
Remember, he lost at Indian Wells & Miami to Nole and won Monte Carlo.
Vamos Rafa.
