Rafael Nadal beat against long-term rival Novak Djokovic in Italian Open semi-final as he won 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 in Rome. He has reached the final for a record-extending 10th time.
Djokovic, who is trying to get back to his best after returning from elbow surgery in January, faded in the second set as Nadal powered to victory.
Nadal will now face Marin Cilic or Alexander Zverev in the final tomorrow.
