Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal would normally be a fantastic tournament final in the tennis world.

But that won't be the case in the Paribas Open. Djokovic and Nadal will meet in the semifinals at Indian Wells, while David Goffin and Milos Raonic will also play for a spot in the finals.

Over on the women's side, Serena Williams takes on Victoria Azarenka. Williams got to the finals after beating Agnieszka Radwanska in the semifinals.

Here's what you need to know heading into the men's semifinals and women's final matchups.



 

Men's Semifinals Nadal vs. Djokovic It was not an easy road for Djokovic to get to the semifinals. He had to withstand two tiebreaker sets in his quarterfinals match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 7-6(2), 7-6(2) on Friday.

Djokovic has yet to lose a full match this year. His lone defeat came in Dubai, but he retired after the first set against Feliciano Lopez in the quarterfinals. Take that match out, and the world's No. 1 player is 16-0 this year. His win over Tsonga also gave him the highest winning percentage of any player in history with an 82.75 percent clip.



Although he's made it this far, Nadal is not the same player he once was. Despite appearing in the semifinals in his last two events, Nadal's performance in the Australian Open was still something to be cautious of, losing in the first round to Fernando Verdasco. But if there's anyone who can bring the best out of Nadal on a big stage, it's Djokovic.

The rivalry is 24-23 in favor of Djokovic, but since Nadal's win at Roland Garros against him in 2014, Djokovic has won the last five meetings, all in straight sets, and nine of the last 10 meetings overall.
