Lumapit si defending champion Rafael Nadal sa minimithing kasaysayan nang gapiin si David Goffin 6-3, 6-1, para makausad sa finals ng Monte Carlo Masters nitong Sabado (Linggo sa Manila).
Makakaharap ni Nadal, 10-time champion dito, si 15th-seeded Albert Ramos-Vinolas sa all-Spanish final. Nagwagi si Ramos kay Lucas Pouille ng France 6-3, 5-7, 6-1.
“I know that I had to defend almost all my points at this beginning of the season,” pahayag ni Nadal. “Having all these great results I am having allows me to still have the position in the top eight of the rankings.”
Goodbye PBA? John Amores, tinanggalan na ng professional license!
Ito ang unang pagkakataon na makakaharap ni Nadal ang 10th-seeded na si Goffin.
“I receive huge support from the crowd all around the world. Today, I don’t know why. For me (it) is sad, especially in a place that I love., ayon kay Nadal.
