Novak Djokovic will face Rafael Nadal in the semifinal round of the 2008 French Open. This is the match up tennis fans wanted to see when the draws were announced. Nadal has been rolling over his competition, but Djokovic has been tested quite a bit. Will Djokovic's relatively close matches and longer rallies be the preparation he needs to match up with Rafa, or has Rafa come into form and ready to claim Nole as his next victim? Djokovic and Nadal last met at Hamburg, on red clay: Nadal won the match 7-5, 2-6, 6-2.
On the French Open website, they're calling the match-up a "dream" semifinal:
