Djokovic is against Nadal with win streaks of seven matches and 15 sets. Nadal has not taken a set off of Djokovic since the 2014 Roland Garros final, when the Spaniard secured his ninth title in Paris. Nadal is the greatest clay-court player of the Open Era with a record on the surface (.917). However, he s lost his last three matches and is 14-7 overall against Djokovic on clay (.667). No other player owns more than three clay-court wins over Nadal. Gaston Gaudio defeated Nadal three times on clay before the Spaniard turned 19 and won his first Roland Garros title in Djokovic is in the midst of his second seven-match win streak against Nadal, sweeping seven straight finals from 2011 Indian Wells through the 2012 Australian Open. The No. 2 and No. 4 seeds have split two prior match-ups in Madrid and 16 prior semi-finals. They have met at all four Grand Slams, the ATP Finals, the Olympics, Davis Cup, and eight of the nine ATP Masters 1000 events (not Shanghai). Djokovic is 16-9 with five straight wins over Nadal at ATP Masters 1000s. Nadal and Djokovic last met exactly one year ago on May 13, 2016, when the Serbian scored a 7-5, 7-6(4) quarter-final win in Rome. This is the longest gap between meetings since their rivalry was born on June 7, 2006 with a Nadal victory in the Roland Garros quarter-finals. Nadal won 14 of their first 18 meetings, culminating in a four-hour, three-minute triumph in the 2009 Madrid semi-finals. Djokovic, however, has claimed 11 of their last 12 meetings since losing in the 2013 US Open final. First-time ATP Masters 1000 semi-finalists Dominic Thiem and Pablo Cuevas will play for a spot opposite Djokovic or Nadal in Sunday s final. In their only previous match-up, Cuevas edged Thiem 7-6(7), 7-5, 6-7(5), 7-5 after three hours and 51 minutes at 2015 Roland Garros. The eighth-seeded Thiem overcame an 0-4 record in ATP Masters 1000 quarter-finals to beat Borna Coric on Friday. Cuevas has earned three-set wins over unseeded opponents in all four of his matches this week. The 27th-ranked Cuevas is unseeded as well and trying to tie John Isner at 2016 Paris as the lowest-ranked ATP Masters 1000 finalist since No. 29 Gilles Simon at 2014 Shanghai. He would be the lowest-ranked ATP Masters 1000 champion since No. 50 Tomas Berdych at 2005 Paris.

9 MUTUA MADRID OPEN: Day 6 Media Notes Friday, May 12, 2017 Caja Magica Madrid, Spain May 7-14, 2017 Draw: S-56, D-24 Prize Money: 5,439,350 Surface: Clay ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com Madrid-Open.com Mark Epps: mepps@atpworldtour.com Press Room: TOP-HALF SURPRISES JOIN DJOKOVIC, NADAL IN QUARTERS Borna Coric, Pablo Cuevas, Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev have never reached the semi-finals of an ATP Masters 1000 event. Two will do so on Friday, one of whom will advance all the way to the final of the Mutua Madrid Open. The unlikely foursome isn t entirely a surprise. Coric, Cuevas, Thiem and Zverev have each won a clay-court title on the ATP World Tour this season. Coric earned the biggest win of his career over World No. 1 Andy Murray 23 minutes after Zverev upset No. 11 seed Tomas Berdych on Thursday, making them the first #NextGenATP duo to reach the quarter-finals of an ATP Masters 1000 event. Nick Kyrgios, who aged out this season, is the only #NextGenATP player to appear in an ATP Masters 1000 semi-final, doing so at 2016 Miami. Coric lost to World No. 80 Mikhail Kukushkin in qualifying on Sunday before replacing Richard Gasquet in the main draw. The lucky loser meets No. 8 seed Thiem in a rematch from Miami on March 25, when the Croat saved three set points in the second set to win 6-1, 7-5. Thiem is 0-4 in ATP Masters 1000 quarter-finals, though all four losses came against players ranked in the Top 6. Zverev encounters Cuevas for the first time on tour. The unseeded Uruguayan is into his third ATP Masters 1000 quarter-final of the season after failing to advance this far in his first 28 appearances at this level. Cuevas held two match points against Pablo Carreno Busta at Indian Wells and was two points from defeating Lucas Pouille at Monte-Carlo before losing both of those quarter-finals. Four-time champion Rafael Nadal and two-time champion Novak Djokovic could meet in the semifinals, but first they must each defeat a Top 10 opponent on Friday. Djokovic opens play at 12 pm against No. 6 seed Kei Nishikori. Since stunning Djokovic in the 2014 US Open semi-finals, Nishikori has lost his last 10 meetings with the Serbian, including in the 2016 Madrid semi-finals. Nadal faces No. 9 seed David Goffin for just the second time, having beaten the Belgian 6-3, 6-1 in the Monte-Carlo semi-finals on April 22. Nadal (31) and Goffin (27) lead all players in tour-level victories this season. The fourth-seeded Spaniard is 12-0 on clay in 2017 and could become the first player to sweep the Barcelona, Roland Garros and three clay-court ATP Masters 1000 titles CLAY-COURT TITLES FOR MADRID QUARTER-FINALISTS Borna Coric Marrakech Pablo Cuevas Sao Paulo Rafael Nadal ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo, Barcelona Dominic Thiem Rio de Janeiro Alexander Zverev Munich

Murray meets #NextGenATP player Borna Coric, who could become the first lucky loser ever to reach the Madrid quarter-finals. Djokovic takes an 8-1 head-to-head record into his match with Madrid native Feliciano Lopez. Nadal, who leads all players with 30 wins in 2017 and four Madrid titles, faces No. 16 seed Nick Kyrgios for the third time. Their FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry is even at one win each. Kyrgios hit 37 aces to stun then-no. 1 Nadal at 2014 Wimbledon as a 19-year-old wild card ranked 144th.

Spaniard David Ferrer seeks his 700th win for a second straight day after receiving a walkover from Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Ferrer tries again against 2014 finalist Kei Nishikori, who defeated him at Caja Magica in 2014 and No. 11 seed Tomas Berdych is nearing a milestone of his own. The 2012 Madrid finalist, two wins shy of 600, meets #NextGenATP player Alexander Zverev. No. 5 seed Milos Raonic and No. 9 seed David Goffin will renew their rivalry, which includes the Canadian s comeback from two sets down en route to the 2016 Wimbledon final. The 26-year-olds are both ranked in the Top 10 after reaching two finals each in They ve come a long way from Australian Open qualifying in 2011, when then-no. 152 Raonic defeated then-no. 205 Goffin.
