Nadal earns Rotterdam final date with Murray

ROTTERDAM: World No 1 Rafael Nadal chalked up his 11th victory in a row on Saturday, defeating unwell Frenchman Gael Monfils 6-4, 6-4 to reach the final of the World Indoor Tournament.

The Spaniard next plays Britain's Andy Murray, who destroyed Croatian Mario Ancic 6-1, 6-2.

Monfils, the only player to beat Nadal this year in the Qatar Open quarterfinals last month, made a poor start by dropping his first service game.
