Claycourt specialist David Ferrer had an easy time beating Serbia’s Viktor Troicki in the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters 2011 tournament with a score of 6-3, 6-3. He will face Austria’s Jurgen Melzer in the semifinals after the latter upset world number three Roger Federer with a straight sets victory as well 6-4, 6-4.

Ferrer currently has a 3-2 head-to-head series lead over Melzer. However, Melzer had won the past two encounters – at the Paris Masters and Roland Garros 2010.

Nadal is the clear favorite to win this encounter as he’s the six-time defending Monte Carlo Masters champion and his two career losses against Ljubicic in their past seven meetings were all in hard courts. However, one could not underestimate Ljubicic who is a former world number three (currently ranked 40th in the world).

The ATP World Tour Monte Carlo Rolex Masters 2011 features the world’s best male tennis players competing for a large share of the multimillion cash prize money plus 1000 ranking points. Six-time defending champion Rafael Nadal heads the talented field and with a 34-1 record in this tournament, it is understandable that he’s the crowd favorite to win his 7th title here and his 19th career Masters title.

With the announcement of Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal in this event, the second seeding for this event went to three-time finalist Roger Federer. Federer currently trails Nadal in terms of number of Masters titles won (at 17) and if he wins the Monte Carlo Masters 2011 title, he’ll even things out with his younger rival.

Monte Carlo Masters 2011: Six-time champ Nadal believes this event should be mandatory

Monte Carlo Masters 2011: Six-time champ Nadal believes this event should be mandatory

Rafael Nadal believes that the Monte Carlo Masters, an ATP 1000 event, should be a mandatory tournament in the men’s ATP World Tour calendar.

The Monte Carlo Masters is one of the nine ATP World Tour 1000 events on tour but it wasn’t tagged as mandatory. One of the oldest tennis events, the Monte Carlo Masters was supposed to have been downgraded to a lower status with leser prize money and ranking points. However, this plan did not materialize after top-ranked players such as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal opposed to the move.

“Even though the tournament lost the status of mandatory, it’s something that in the future must change another time and become mandatory,” Nadal was quoted as saying.

The six-time Monte Carlo Masters champion starts his claycourt season today against Finland’s Jarkko Nieminen.

“It is impossible to downgrade a tournament like Monte Carlo. There is the history of this tournament, the tradition, the place, the city. Everything is too important to downgrade a tournament like this.”

Azarenka v. Sharapova Miami Women's Final Preview

Azarenka v. Sharapova Miami Women's Final Preview

Maria Sharapova will meet former Miami champion Victoria Azarenka in Saturday's final. We asked senior editor Steve Tignor four questions about the match:

1. Who will win?
You can’t tell from their head to head. Sharapova and Azarenka are 2-2. If you have to give this edge in this category to anyone, it would be Azarenka. She won their only meeting of 2010, in Stanford, 6-4, 6-1. But there won’t be any momentum either way; neither player will feel like they can’t beat the other.

Azarenka is also the higher-ranked player—No. 8 to Sharapova’s No. 13. But Maria, after two years of fits and starts, appears to be gaining. She’s followed up her semifinal in Indian Wells with a final here.

On pure form, Azarenka is also the player to take. She’s beaten two Top 5 players, Kim Clijsters and Vera Zvonareva, in straight sets in the last two rounds, and made it look easy both times. She’s playing with more energy, positivity, and margin for error than normal, going after her shots but not going for broke. She seems to be using a little more topspin for net clearance, while still getting on top of the rallies. And I get the feeling her superb tan is intimidating her opponents as well.

Sharapova, no surprise, has been inconsistent—she won her last two matches in three sets—but has gritted her way through that inconsistency. If Azarenka is better on form, Sharapova remains the better big-match player.

The Pick: Azarenka in three.

2. Based on the current hierarchy, is this a good or bad final for the WTA?
It might depend on your tolerance for modern-day grunting, shrieking and cooing, because this match is going to give us a lot of it, from both ends. But if your ears can stand it—and, given a few minutes to adjust, mine can—this is a very good final for the WTA. Sharapova is, if nothing else, a star, and Azarenka is, at her best, an athletic and dynamic player who could have a lot of appeal. I think the tour would be happy to see Sharapova going deep at big tournaments, and that it’s a positive development that a player like Azarenka, who seemed to have Grand Slam potential a few years ago—she beat Serena Williams in the final here in 2009—would show that that potential is not necessarily going to go to waste.

3. Azarenka won Miami two years ago, but has been a disappointment at the Slams. Is this her ceiling?
She has tended to start seasons quickly and fade midway. As you said, she won in Miami two years ago, right after reaching the Indian Wells final. We all expected big things, but by the time the U.S. Open rolled around, she looked spent. Azarenka trains and plays with a lot of intensity, an intensity that’s tough to keep up and hold steady for 10 straight months. Based on that, I would say that part of her problem hasn’t been her ability, but how she’s managed her seasons and paced herself.

As far as her game when she’s on court, Azarenka, more than any other Top 10 player, can be utterly horrible—I watched her look totally clueless losing to Gisela Dulko at the French Open last year. In some matches, like that one, she can appear to have too much footwork, to jump and hop around needlessly—that intensity thing again. Most important is what I mentioned earlier, her margin of error. If she can build some of that in—add a little Caroline Wozniacki to her game—she can challenge for majors.

4. With all of her struggles this week, would even a title be enough to convince you that Sharapova is back?
My first answer is yes, because it would be an impressively gritty run, and because I want the answer to be yes. But my second, and more long-lasting answer, is no. I just go finished watching her lose badly to Wozniacki in Indian Wells, so it’s too soon to say that those kind of wretched performances aren’t going to happen again. The best thing that would likely come out of a win would be some confirmation, on both sides, that her fairly new coaching relationship with Thomas Hogstedt—which was a big change from her relationship with Michael Joyce—is starting to pay dividends.

Federer vs Nadal Miami 2011 Semi Final Preview

Rafael Nadal (Spain) v Roger Federer (Switzerland) –

In case you’re wondering, there is a tennis god. How do we know? We are being rewarded with the 23rd installment of the Rafa and Rog show right here in a Friday night semi-final at the Sony Ericsson Open. For a brief time on Thursday night, it looked like Nadal was in trouble against Thomas Berdych in the quarter-final, but he got his act together and kept things according to plan.

Nadal is No. 1 these days, although he’s still looking for his first title of the year. In contrast, Federer is now at No. 3, bumped down by the red-hot Novak Djokovic, who beat Federer the three times he’s lost this season. Federer, however, has been in the winner’s circle this season, taking the honors in Doha with a win over Nikolay Davydenko.

Federer will be better rested going into Friday night as his Thursday afternoon match lasted all of seven minutes when Gilles Simon’s sore neck sent him packing with Fed ahead 3-0. In contrast, Nadal went three with Berdych. Federer’s won this title twice, but Nadal is still in the hunt for his first Miami trophy. That said, Nadal brings his best to the court when facing Federer, whether it be on hard courts, grass or clay.

The Spaniard now boasts a 14-8 winning record over Federer. However, the Swiss won their last encounter at the Barclay’s ATP World Tour Finals at the end of last year. This match will be tight, but it will be Rafael who rules.
