The Spanish top seed will meet second-seeded holder Alexander Zverev, a 7-6 (15/13), 7-5 winner over Australian Open finalist Marin Cilic. His impressive win over Djokovic will give Nadal added confidence ahead of the French Open, where he has won a record 10 titles. "I need to be able to play my best tomorrow," Nadal said of his Sunday final. Nadal earned a 2-1 lead in the second set with another break of Djokovic and never lost control. Zverev will aim for an upset of Nadal as well as a claycourt Masters double after winning Madrid last weekend.
