Rafa - The king !

Rafa defeated Novak Djokovic in Rogers Cup semifinal in 3 sets: 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 after 2 hours and 31 minutes of play.

After the semifinal, Rafa said: "I said yesterday the only chance to win aainst Novak, the only tactic is to play very well. To play very well I have to play agressive. If not, I cannot play very well on this kind of surface. And I did. I played a very high level tonight, I think. I played with the right decisions in the important moments. Yes, the serve worked well during the whole night. And the shots from the baseline, I tried to stay wery close to the baseline, go inside when I hade the chance."

“I started this important part of the season with a big result for me." "To be in the final is amazing. To be in a final of a Masters 1000 is amazing for me. Especially beating the best player of the world, Novak, tonight, it is a big result for me. Very happy for that. Tomorrow is an important match. For me, to win another Masters 1000 is a big illusion. But I know that anything can happen. If I lose tomorrow I will be very happy the way that I played and the result that I had this week.”

In Rogers Cup final, Rafa will play against Milos Raonic of Canada. On head to head, Rafa leads Raonic: 3-0. Their last match was this year in Barcelona where Rafa won in straight sets: 6-4, 6-0.
