In a match marked by the reigning wind in the ‘ Philippe Chatrier ‘, the native of Manacor was very firm before that of Basel, against which it was not measured in Paris since the end of 2011 and to which it controlled almost always except in the second partial. Yes, after winning the first set, Federer reacted and went ahead with an initial break that he did not know how to take advantage of. Later, despite dominating the ninth game for 40-0 to get 5-4, was left to go back to the Spanish, who achieved the ‘ break ‘ key to be done later with the partial and find from there free way towards the final. In the definition, the ‘ king ‘ of Clay will see faces with the winner of the semifinal between Serbian Novak Djokovic and the Austrian Dominic Thiem, the latter pupil of the Chilean Nicolás Massú. Consigning that Nadal became the present day in the fourth longest player to fight to raise the cup of the Musketeers at 33 years and 6 days.
