Who’ll win the semifinal showdown between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic?

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic head for a semifinal collision at the French Open while Roger Federer continues to struggle.

Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga clash tomorrow in the best of the four French Open quarterfinals.

Novak Djokovic spoke openly to the press on Monday about his former coach who passed away this weekend.

“I started to feel pain, like a knife below my ribs,” said Errani who struggled with an odd injury during the match. “Every time I was breathing it was very painful. It wasn’t muscular, but I couldn’t stay up. So I called the physio and she told me I had my diaphragm totally blocked. She tried to release it a bit, and then after that it was much better.”

Tommy Haas held it together to outlast John Isner in a thriller at the French Open.

Federer, who next meets the No. 15 seed Simon who has been tested in long matches, was also on the energy-conserving tip.

“That’s one of the best wins of my career,” said Mattek-Sands, who hit 32 winners during the aggressive assault. “I knew she wasn’t going to give it to me. She’s a champion, and I had to play some of my best tennis ever to beat her…It was kind of a battle of who can take control of that middle court.”
