number seven, Rafael Nadal, overcame Belgium’s David Goffin in straight
sets to reach the final of the Monte Carlo Masters.Nadal fought back from a break down in the first set and went on to win 6-4 in controversial circumstances.The chair umpire, Cedric Mourier, examined the wrong mark and
incorrectly called a long Nadal shot in, which handed the momentum to
the Spaniard.The point appeared to have frustrated Goffin, who then lost 6-1 in the second set.Nadal said after the match that he was “very happy to be in the final
of such an important competition, the first of the season on clay”.“I found a way to create some damage on David because at the beginning of the match he was dominating,” he added.Compatriot, Albert Ramos-Vinolas, stands between him and his 10th Monaco Masters title in Sunday’s final.“It will certainly be a tough final; Albert has beaten Andy Murray to
be here so I will have to play my best to win. He is playing fantastic
at the moment”. (NAN)
