Nadal, Djokovic reach Monte Carlo finals ROQUEBRUNE-CAP-MARTIN, France, April 21 (UPI) -- Rafael Nadal and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic will meet in the finals of the Monte Carlo Masters after both won their semifinal matches on Saturday. Djokovic had to rally to upend sixth-seeded Czech Tomas Bredych 4-6, 6-3, 602 Saturday, but Nadal had an easier time beating Giles Simon of France 6-3, 6-4. Nadal, who has won eight consecutive Monte Carlo championships, ran his winning streak on the venue's clay courts to 41 in a row. He has not won a tournament, however, since last spring's French Open. Nadal holds a 16-14 advantage in the lifetime series against Djokovic, who played on despite the death of his grandfather in Serbia earlier on the week.
