Rafael Nadal Reaches Monte Carlo Masters Final to Face Novak Djokovic

World no. 1 Rafael Nadal saw off British star Andy Murray with a straight set victory at the semi final of Monte Carlo Masters where Nadal is now eyeing for his fifth straight title in the tournament. In the final, Nadal will face world no.3 Novak Djokovic who made it to the final after defeating Stanislas Wawrinka 4-6 6-1 6-3.

Rafael Nadal dominated in the first set against Murray as the Spaniard took it 6-2, but the Briton posed huge challenge for Nadal in the second set which was decided in tie breaker as Nadal clinched it 7-6 (4). Rafael Nadal has been in excellent form over the last one year and he would definitely start as a favorite against Djokovic in the final of Monte Carlo Masters. Djokovic, however, lacks consistency, though there is no doubt about his class and talent. So, tennis fans could experience a highly-fought final in the tournament.
