MONTE CARLO (Reuters) - A near flawless Novak Djokovic crushed Marin Cilic 6-0 6-3 to set up a blockbuster Monte Carlo Masters semi-final with claycourt king Rafa Nadal, who came through a testing workout by David Ferrer on Friday.

World number one Djokovic won the first eight games against U.S. Open champion Cilic, whose first mark on the scoreboard was greeted by an ironic celebration from the Croat.
