David Ferrer "pleased" with Rafael Nadal win

David Ferrer has said that he is "pleased" with his victory over fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal at the Monte Carlo Masters.

The 32-year-old sixth seed got the better of the world number one 7-6(1) 6-4 in the quarter-finals of the tournament on Friday.

"I have had to wait 10 years to beat him on clay," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"It was a long wait but I am pleased with the win and the way I played."

Ferrer will take on Stanislas Wawrinka for a place in the final.
