The 2015 ATP Monte Carlo Masters semifinals are set and they feature the usual suspects:
World #1 Novak Djokovic, going for his 3rd consecutive Masters series title this year, and World #4
Rafael Nadal. The two will be meeting for a record 43rd time, with Nadal sporting a (tenuous?) 23-19 lead in the head-to-head.
Djokovic stopped Nadal's streak of yearly title wins at Monte Carlo at 8 in 2013. The two last met when
Nadal beat Djokovic in 4 sets in the final of the 2014 French Open. Last year Stan Wawrinka
beat Roger Federer in 3 sets to win his only Masters Series title, this year both Swiss stars fell in the 3rd round.
The other semifinalists are
Gael Monfils who dispatched both Federer (
for the second consecutive time on clay!) and
Grigor Dimitrov this week and
Tomas Berdych, who advanced when
Milos Raonic retired with a foot injury
.
MadProfessah's pick: Djokovic-Monfils final!

Irony would have it that Monfils barely showed up for the match.
His run to the semis was brilliant, then a collapse of more than significant proportions.
Did not see either match, btw.
As to Sunday morning, may tune in.
