Nadal sees off Dimitrov to cruise into 12th Monte Carlo final
World number one Rafael Nadal swept aside Grigor Dimitrov to ease into his 12th Monte Carlo Masters final with a 6-4, 6-1 victory today.
The 31-year-old, who needs to win an 11th Monaco title to retain the number one ranking ahead of Roger Federer, will face either Kei Nishikori or Alexander Zverev in Sunday's final.
"Every year is different and equally special," said Nadal, after beating Dimitrov for the 11th time in 12 meetings.
"So I'll just focus on doing the things that I have to do to give me another chance tomorrow. That's it.
"I don't want to think about another title yet, I just want to think about the way I have to play and try to be ready for it."
