Monfils declared to the crowd that he would be not able to choose the court to its semifinal match against the Spaniard due to an ankle injury. The injury happened in the second set of his match from Bautista Agut. With that result, Rafael Nadal will face off from Daniil Medvedev for first time in the two of their livelihood.
Rafa did needed to battle back in Montreal in his quarterfinal match against No.11 Fabio Fognini to acquire 2-6, 6-1, 6-2. With Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer leaping out on this year’s tournament, Nadal is the best seed.
This is the first time the 23-year old and also the 33-year old will match up in their own professions. Medvedev has played a number of his very best tennis in the Rogers Cup 2019, but the Rogers Cup championship has ever been favorable to Nadal.
The Russian has yet to lose a place on Canadian land this past year, and he’s been playing with such force and control in his game. But with not played with Nadal previously could prove dangerous for the Russian, also Nadal tennis IQ is so large, and his skills are so refined.

Nadal is going after his fifth Rogers Cup name, and now he’ll be playing two days rest as well. Something that looks unheard of in such a particular tournament. The 2 players have to confront each other before, so there’s no background to go off of. The decade era gap between the two could be a benefit to Medvedev, which could make things a little more intriguing. However, Nadal’s 4-0 record in Rogers Cup finals speaks for itself.
In case Nadal had played with his semifinals game and won to proceed onto the finals, then there could have been another story here. But after he fought back in the quarters, the Spaniard looks to be ready to carry home his fifth trophy.
