This was my prediction! Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer all have advanced into the Rome Masters semifinals. Nadal defeated Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 6-3. Federer defeated Mischa Zverev 7-6 (3), 6-2 and Djokovic defeated Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-4. Next meeting: Federer against Djokovic today, May 2nd.
Djokovic and Federer both like the fast clay court, so it should be a great match.
“I think both of us like it, so it’s going to be interesting,” Djokovic said. “I feel quite confident playing here. Each match I play, I feel more comfortable moving on the court and just playing my style of the game.”
Federer’s thoughts are still on how he played in Miami. He needs to erase those thoughts and focus on today’s match!
“I hope I can play better than in Miami,” Federer said.
Federer is seeking his first title of the year, so to say that his match against Djokovic is important is an understatement.
