Nadal in French Open semifinals

As expected, Rafael Nadal has made it to the semifinals, and in an easy way, as he took down Nicolas Almagro 6-1,6-1,6-1 which is quite impresive. By the way, it was Nadal’s birthday, and a victory was the best gift he could grant himself.

But is Nadal, and everyone knows about his capacity to win big, even though he was playing against a tennist that has had a great amount of experience in clay courts and whom has won 24 matches on such surface this year.

Rafael Nadal is now facing Novak Djokovic, and it’s just the same story repeating itself, as the spaniard took on the serbian at the same stage of the French Open last year, and also at Wimbledon, so Djokovic is surely looking for his portion of revenge.

The other semifinalists will be decided today as Roger Federer is playing Fernando Gonzalez and David Ferrer is playing the only frenchman remaining in the competition Gaël Monfils.

Let’s not forget that Nadal is going after his fourth straight title for the Roland Garros, something that only Bjorn Borg achieved back at the begining of the 1980’s. So critics have started to compare them both, and for some, this could be a bit annoying for Nadal, but the spaniard feels different: "Comparing myself to Borg, I mean, how could I dare do that, he was one of the top three players in all the history of tennis. Thank you very much. That's very kind of you comparing me to such a huge player.” The 22 year old professional tennist said.
