Nadal didn't make a semi in 2015, but I have stats from his 2015 FO matches:Uhm, do you have Nadal's ?
1R-4R matches:
net points: 53
net points won: 69
total points played: 725
net approach %: 9.52%
net pts won %: 76.81%
1R-QF matches (includes loss to Djokovic):
net points: 64
net points won: 93
total points played: 898
net approach %: 10.36%
net pts won %: 68.82%
So why did Nadal approach the net more against Djokovic? Probably because of a healthy dose of this:

Here you can also see how bad Novak's touch is around the net
