Overview
Djokovic advanced to the last four of the competition after defeating Marin Cilic in straight sets 6-0, 6-3 on Friday (17 April). The Serbian defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and the Croatian to make it to the semi-finals.
He will be hoping for another win over Nadal, who has been exceptional on clay in the last decade. Djokovic won the Monte-Carlo Masters only once in 2013 and the World No 1 will be looking to win it for the second time this year.
Nadal had to defeat his compatriot David Ferrer to make it to the semi-final of the tournament. He won the match 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to set up a clash with Djokovic on Saturday.
Nadal has won the competition for eight consecutive years starting 2005. In the last two years, the former World No 1 has failed to win the Monte-Carlo Masters and he will be hoping to win it this year.
A victory for either of them on Saturday will see them face the winner of the other semi-final clash between Tomas Berdych and Gael Monfils in this year's final of the Monte-Carlo Masters.
