Federer gears up for French Open semi-final against 'King of Clay' Nadal RG19
PARIS - Roger Federer has never solved the riddle of playing Rafael Nadal at the French Open but still believes he can find the answer when the pair clash for the 39th time in Friday’s semi-final.
The last time Federer beat Nadal anywhere on clay was in Madrid in 2009 — one of only two times he has got the better of him on the Spaniard’s favorite surface. “That’s why you need to put yourself in that position. Now I have the match with Rafa, and I’m clearly excited. I hope I can recover well in the next couple days, which I’m sure I will, and I’ll give it my best shot on Friday.”
