Nadal moves on to the semi-finals against either Roberto Bautista Agut or Gael Monfils whose game was delayed by inclement weather

Daniil Medvedev of Russia serves to Dominic Thiem of Austria during quarter- final play at the Rogers Cup tennis tournament in Montreal.Rafael Nadal strode into the interview room Friday and glanced at a television monitor to his right.

“I lost things on the road so I just tried to add other things,” Nadal added. “One of the things that I’m most satisfied with is I’ve been able to always find a solution to keep being competitive at the highest level.” Nadal, the top seed with Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer skipping this year’s event, was broken by Fognini in the third and fifth games of the first set.

“Another opportunity to be in another final,” Nadal said. “Will be great if I am able to make that happen.” Earlier on Friday, the eighth-seeded Medvedev needed just under 57 minutes to finish off Thiem, the No. 2 seed from Austria.Medvedev won a whopping 96 per cent of his points on first serve and never faced a break point to grab his first victory in three meetings with Thiem.
