the quarterfinals Wednesday:
The Spanish Rafael Nadal, world number one , gave the first set of the tournament in Roland Garros against countryman David Ferrer, but qualified for the semifinals, where they will face to face with Andy Murray, who beat Frenchman Gael Monfils.
It will be a reprint 2011 semifinal, the top step that has come to Britain in the clay Grand Slam, the only one who has never played the final.
What’s
Partly to blame is Nadal, who at that year he won three races for, ultimately his sixth Cup Musketeers.
But since then many things have happened in the Race 8 of the world, 27, who has added two Grand Slam (the U.S. Open 2012 and Wimbledon 2013) and an Olympic medal.
His game has progressed especially on clay , where a few weeks ago had Nadal on the ropes in the quarterfinals of the Rome Masters 1000, before the Spaniard soar upward the result.
It will be the twenty duel between them, a series in which the Scot has won only five times, none of them on clay.
Nadal reached the penultimate stage of the tournament that aims to win for the ninth time letting the first shred before the first opponent faced entity.
The table had been as easy until quarterfinals appeared Ferrer, a finalist last year, the third consecutive match on clay in Paris between the two players, a clash which was preceded by the victory of Ferrer in Monte Carlo, the first in a decade against Nadal and the first of three that darkened the clay season Mallorcan.
It was a strange match, played in the second track, in a very humid environment with wind and the edge of night. He began gaining Ferrer and equalized in the second set, until in the sixth game squandered three break points and broke down. Went into a spin and let out the match as rarely has seen the consistent player from Jávea. It ended 4-6, 6-4, 6-0, 6-1.
“I have been fatal, have not kept pace, does not correspond to a ‘top 10′,” Ferrer said, highly critical of his attitude.Neither was very orthodox Murray’s game, which was measured to Gael Monfils, the last French hope, with all the supporters holding him to return to the semifinals for the second time after they have been played in 2009. leaning He finished 6-4, 6-1, 4-6, 1-6, 6-0.
The British dominated the game in the first two sets, but the French would sell face his dark skin. Surprised scoring the third and that gave him encouragement. He and the public. On the center of Paris planned the duel spectrum Monfils held against Italian Fabio Fognini in the third round, when he starred in an epic comeback.
But the French lacked the strength and showed he has more Scottish tennis transalpine sufficiency and closed the last part.The other semifinal will be played on the Serbian Novak Djokovic for many as the man of the moment, against Latvian Ernests Gulbis, the surprise of the semi- a round that had never played in his career.
