Monfils to face Nadal in Rogers Cup semi after three-set win over Bautista Agut
MONTREAL — The semifinals are finally set at the men’s Rogers Cup tennis tournament.
Sixteenth-seed Gael Monfils of France will face top seed Rafael Nadal in the final four after a 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (2) win over 10th-seed Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain on Saturday. The quarterfinal match was postponed due to lightning on Friday night then set back further by a rain delay Saturday.
Monfils capped the victory with a smart forehand winner after Bautista Agut had trouble with the Frenchman’s serve.
The 32-year-old Frenchman was favouring his left ankle for much of the match, and was unsure if he would be able to face Nadal in the semis.
