2 Rafael Nadal vs 9 Gilles Simon - H2H: 4-1/RN

This is Rafa's 8th straight M-C Sf: 7-0. And 42nd Masters 1000 Sf: 29-12.

He is the 7-time defending champion with a whopping 42-1 W/L record.

Gilles on the other hand: his 1st M-C Sf & 3rd at the Masters 1000: 1-1.

He'll be up against it tomorrow as Rafa has lost SIX sets at M-C since '03.

Something tells me we're looking at another Novak/Rafa final.
