Rafa Nadal qualified for the final at Roland Garros after three races to break in Jürgen Melzer. The Spaniard, who still leaves a good feeling on the clay of Paris, is just a way of gaining their fifth Roland Garros and recover the world's No. 1. Only Robin Soderling of Manacor separates such an undertaking.

Rafa Nadal beat Austria's Jurgen Melzer by aggregate score of 6-2, 6-3, 7-6 (6) after two hours and nine minutes of play in the crash which closed the day at a packed Philippe Chatrier for the occasion. The start of the game drew a match played, with both players plugged in the service, winning two of the first three games in white. It was clear that Nadal would try to take the lead in points with his right, while Melzer would choose to be aggressive and go to the network to have minimum option. Come to Ecuador in the set, broke Rafa's serve Jürgen, who then left the game at times and paid for expensive mistakes. Nadal settlement Meng in the first half hour thanks to a game got on track, displaying a varied repertoire and a love right now. Even at that time dared go up and finalize the points in the network.

Melzer had not played in five previous matches of this year's Roland Garros on Centre Court and seemed to expect to get big. The Austrian, who will leave Paris within the global Top-20, was too hasty, rushing to the net like crazy and trying not to play not a single exchange from the bottom of the track. The points with many long rallies were favored Spanish side. Rafa got his first break option in the second game, but did not break the serve of Vienna until the sixth game, it was enough income to Spanish to take the second set to locker.

The white game the rest of Nadal at the start of the third set seemed to be the final nail in one of the more placid matches for Spanish so far. However, the Spaniard lifted his foot off the accelerator at the same time as the hammering of Melzer began to find online. An untimely double fault put her rival Rafa in the match and made the respectable equal enjoy the highlights of the meeting. When Nadal get to play again on the track, took the baton of the points with his right and shook his opponent from side to side of the track, won a new break that ultimately turned to look. Manacor had the option of closing the match with 5-3 and 5-4 the rest of the service, but not seized the opportunity. Melzer was not dead. "If I got here, is because I have to do," he heard himself screaming at the Austrian one of the breaks in the chair. Already before Djokovic rallied (When I was two sets and 2-0 down) in the previous round and tried to do the same in the semifinals.

He tried, that's for sure. Nadal saw a party that had won in the fast lane could be extended for other absurdly. Came the tie-break and with it the nerves of the two, beating stiff and traded mini-breaks in sudden death. Rafa again show that cost him close out the game to let slip two match points (6-4), while the third was the charm. The other side of Melzer stood on the network and cuffs Nadal rose to Parisian sky at the same time his passport was stamped for the grand final on Sunday (15:00, Spanish time). His opponent, an old acquaintance: the Swede Robin Soderling, Nadal executioner last year round, and the only one who has managed to break into Spanish on the Parisian clay. There are five previous between the two players, with a background of 3-2 in favor of Spanish. Nadal won the three first (Roland Garros 2006, Wimbledon 2007, Rome 2009) and Soderling the last two (Roland Garros Masters Cup 2009 and London 2009). Nadal will attempt to break the streak of Sweden to win their fifth scepter in Paris.

Nadal will regain the world number 1 if you end up winning Roland Garros after defeating Federer in the quarterfinals against Soderling · Almagro has lost all seven games they have played against Rafa • The Balearic is the sole representative of the Navy that is at stake in Paris

Rafa Nadal qualified for the semifinals of Roland Garros after winning the Spanish derby Nicolas Almagro. The Spaniard, who displayed the best version of his tennis on the clay of the Philippe Chatrier, look for a ticket to the grand final on Sunday against Jürgen Melzer, who beat in five sets to Novak Djokovic.

Rafa Nadal beat Nicolas Almagro 7-6 aggregate score (2), 7-6 (2), 6-4 after two hours and thirty-four minutes of play in a clash played at a packed Philippe Chatrier that could enjoy the beautiful spectacle offered by the two players of the Navy.

Since the fall in Rome in 2008 to Juan Carlos Ferrero, Nadal does not know what Rafa to the first exchange and signing a partial 3-0 with aggressive play, but settled to the bottom of the track and summoning of a powerful plane hit. Nadal took to read the game, but did in time. He began playing deeper, cornering Almagro two steps behind the baseline and painstakingly searches for the blow up, blow the Murcia is in the must. The first leg had to be settled in the tie-break, a sudden death in Rafa it is to lose to any fellow. 21 consecutive wins on the payroll of the Balearic Islands. His last victim was a Almagro has demonstrated on the Parisian clay through one of his best moments of his career, but has had the misfortune to cross in the box with the best player on clay and one of time the best ever. The pupil of Joseph Perlas, major culprit of the new version of Nico, began imposing the match, breaking the service comfortably settled punches service (give improved Nadal in this section, with open and angled kicks) at a location in the final rush of September, when the rest began to have its role. Almagro 4-4 had his option for a break that would have allowed out to even the contest, but Nadal his teeth to overcome the danger and force a new tie-break, where he repeated the script. Nadal controlled the sudden death exhibited its highest level and discharge without any option to Nico.

Despite being behind on the scoreboard, and after seeing Nadal could hardly disturb the tie-break, Almagro not budge in their efforts and showed a commendable attitude to follow the same dynamics as aggressive habñian given good results in the first act. The increased level of tennis, seeing points will be saved to the archive of this edition of Roland Garros. It went from a situation in which beginning to end, going up to the net to put pressure on his rival and finalize the points on the fast track.

Back from two sets to Nadal is no small feat. However, Almagro put back on the track a "taste of his mature, fighting every point as if it were the first party. The rider from Murcia unhinged as Nadal is growing, but the Spaniard seemed unstoppable at the moment. The feeling was that Rafa could break at any moment kick off with the Austrian Jürgen Melzer, who surprisingly defeated Novak Djokovic for a score of 3-6, 2-6, 2-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4 after four hours and fifteen minutes of play in a clash played in the Suzanne Lenglen, tennis throughout a marathon that serves as a button and matched sample of what the games are played at this point. Everything seemed a bed of roses for Belgrade, a semifinalist in Paris in 2007 and 2008, sentenced on both occasions by Rafa Nadal, when he was leading the game with two sets to love and a part in the third 2-0, break included. However, this was the moment which saw the resurrection of Austria.

The pupil of Joakim Nyström, former world number seven in 1986, knew how to make a fresh start and achieve the heroic. He made six straight games to finish signing up the third set, he decided the fourth in a tie-break where the ball missed three in September, after discussion with a 6-0 mini-part of and release the shock Nico, a situation that came in the hot spot in September. In the ninth game, adal key to the game then shut the service. In short, it is commendable attitude of Almagro, who continues to improve so much at stake as in attitude. For his part, Nadal adds its 36th victory at Roland Garros (only lost to Swede Robin Soderling), equaling the record of Alex Corretja and Spanish with the most wins in the Grand Slam.

In the semifinals, Nadal will face each fifth manga tense and a great attraction for the viewer. Equality was such that he broke his rival service would have many papers carried the match. There was one tie-break to alter that battle. After several break ball missed by the Austrian Melzer reached the desired break in the ninth game. In the tenth, serving to win, inexplicably missed a match point with a volley that was left on the net, two balls up Adverse break summoning extraordinary service and ended up putting an end when one quarter of an hour spent four hours of play.

Rafa Nadal and Jurgen Melzer are measured on two occasions so far, with victories for Spanish. The first time I crossed paths was in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games in Beijing, where Rafa won by a score of 6-0 and 6-4. Equally striking was the victory of Manacor in 1000 second round of the Madrid Masters last year, where the score was 6-3, 6-1 in favor of Spanish.

Nadal keeps alive the hopes of achieving a Spanish medal in tennis after defeating the Russian Andreev and access to the quarterfinals, where they measured the Austrian Jurgen Melzer. The Manacor returned to give an exhibition at the Russian tennis player and decided the match in two sets (6-4 and 6-2) in just over an hour and a half of play.



And that the start of the game is not very well painted for the Spanish. Having missed two balls break in the game starter, Nadal lost the initiative of the points and only a tremendous security in the draw allowed him to win his services with relative ease. Andreev was not least because good first base and constant rises to the network remained in the game.

Until we reached the break. Rafa forgave two in the first game, but the third in the seventh game of the meeting, Nadal stole the service into Russian. Far from amilanarse, Andreev had a golden opportunity when available until four balls break with 5-4 on the scoreboard. That ended the Russian.

Apisonadora Manacor in the second sleeve
With the first manga (6-4) in his pocket, pulled out Nadal to shine your best tennis, although there was no need or that before the Andreev and Fallon off the second set. The tennis Manacor it broke out at his rival at the start of the second sleeve to, then awarded three games followed (break included) and put a final ended 4-0 for undermining the hopes of Russian.

Nadal closed the match with his serve and gained the quarterfinals again prove the most in the form of tennis today. Now expects an a priori affordable Jurgen Melzer. Djokovic, who is also in the quarter, is presumed as the big stumbling block to achieving medals. But first we must beat the Austrian.
