Barcelona Open Semi-finals:  David Ferrer v Milos Raonic and  Rafael Nadal v  Fernando Verdasco

All Saturday's matches are being streamed live at bet365 > live tennis

Three Spaniards have made the semi-finals at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell for the second year in a row, guaranteeing a Spanish finalist for the 16th straight year here. A Spaniard also has won this title nine years in a row (since 2003).

The first semi-final pits No. 3 seed David Ferrer against No. 11 seed and top Canadian Milos Raonic for the fourth time. The No. 2 Spaniard has beaten Raonic all three times they have played, with the most dominant win coming in their lone clay court meeting in Monte Carlo last year, 61 63). Before this week Raonic had five Top 10 wins but never defeated a Top 8 player, but he broke through in the quarter-finals, upsetting World No. 4 Andy Murray. Can he make it two breakthroughs in two days as he faces World No. 6 Ferrer? The Valencia resident is appearing in the semi-finals here for the sixth straight year, having been a finalist in 2008, ‘09 and ‘11 and a semi-finalist in 2007 and 2010. Ferrer is trying to reach his 29th career ATP World Tour final (14-14 mark), fourth this year (3-0) and 18th on clay (8-9 record) while Raonic is trying to reach his sixth ATP final (3-2 mark) and first on clay.

In the second semi-final, top seed and World No. 2 Rafael Nadal brings a 12-0 career mark (5-0 on clay, 11-0 in sets) against No. 9 seed and 2010 champion Fernando Verdasco. Nadal has a 19-match winning streak on clay since losing to Novak Djokovic in the Rome final last May. As if his domination of Monte Carlo weren’t enough with his eighth straight title last week, Nadal also has dominated Barcelona, winning the title the last six times he has played in Barcelona (did not play two years ago), and currently riding a 32-match winning streak here (winning the last 28 sets in Barca). Nadal is trying to reach his 69th career final (47-21 mark), third this season (1-1) and 38th on clay (33-4 record) while Verdasco is aiming to reach his 18th final (5-12), second this year (0-1) and 11th on clay (3-7).
