The semifinal matchups are all set in Monte Carlo, and it features three Spaniards, including five-time defending champ Rafael Nadal, and last year's finalist Novak Djokovic.
Monte Carlo is the first of three clay-court ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Events leading up to the French Open. Nadal is attempting to achieve an Open Era record of winning six straight titles in the same tournament, a feat even World No. 1 and 16-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer does not have on his resume. Standing on Nadal's path in the semis is fellow Spaniard David Ferrer.
Top seed Novak Djokovic will be looking to avenge last year's final defeat to Nadal, but will have to get past Spaniard Fernando Verdasco first in the other semifinal match. Hard to believe, but Verdasco is appearing in his first-ever Masters 1000 semifinal.
