In his first meeting against Rafael Nadal, Jan-Lennard Struff had the right game plan — serve and volley and hit every ball as hard as he could. But Nadal weathered Struff's most aggressive best, and is now two wins away from a record-setting 12th Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell title.
The 32-year-old Spaniard made his 12th Barcelona semi-final on Friday, overcoming the big-hitting Struff 7-5, 7-5 on Pista Rafa Nadal.
