Men’s semifinalists at the Italian Open are set:
Rafael Nadal [5] v. Tomas Berdych [6]
Roger Federer [2] v. Benoit Paire
In a stunning upset, Novak Djokovic, the No. 1 seed, was beaten in the quarterfinals of the Italian Open by the Czech Tomas Berdych 2-6, 7-5, 6-4.
The Serb won the first set comfortably. In the second, he was up 5-2, serving for the match, just two points from victory, when things fell apart.
Djokovic had his chances in the third set, but Berdych held strong. It was only his second win against Djokovic, and the first since 2010.
