Nadal and Djokovic Set Up French Open Semi-final

By hugree on June 6th, 2013

The ease with which Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic swept aside their quarterfinal opponents at the French Open was remarkably similar. The collision in the semi-finals of the 2013 Roland Garros has looked inevitable the whole way and the two booked their showdown in straight sets wins. Nadal is 41-2 since returning in February after missing seven months because of a left knee injury he declined to discuss Wednesday. Djokovic will be trying to become the eighth man to complete a career Grand Slam, against Rafa Nadal, who will be trying to become the only man to win eight trophies at one major tournament. Nadal, who said that in beating Wawrinka he had played his best match of the tournament so far, was cautious about his upcoming duel with the #1 seed. “I know that I will be playing against the best player in the world,” he said. “I’ll just try to play my way, find my rhythm and play my best match. That’s the only way to have a chance.”
