The World number four, aiming for a 65th career title, has dispatched three Argentinians on route to the final and faces another home hope in good friend Monaco, who is contesting his third final here.
The 14-time Grand Slam winner has won all of their five clay court meetings and remarkably the Tandil native has won just 13 games in 12 sets against Rafa.
