Novak Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal on Friday to enter the French Open final and continue to dominate the tennis world. The top seed Djokovic defeated the third seed Nadal 3-6, 6-3, 7-6, 6-2.
Djokovic will face fifth-ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas, who defeated Alexander Zverev in five sets on Friday.
After losing the first set to Nadal, Djokovic regained the next three sets on the road to victory. However, Djokovic did find himself trailing 0-2 in the fourth set, and then he rejected Nadal’s 15th French title in six consecutive games. Nadal’s record in Paris is still an amazing 105-3.
This is the 58th time that Djokovic and Nadal have faced each other in their careers. With Djokovic’s victory, he led the series 30-28.
Now Djokovic will win his 19th career Grand Slam title when facing Sisipas on Sunday. Djokovic’s only French Open title was in 2016, when he defeated Andy Murray in the final. Sisipas was the first Greek to enter the Grand Slam singles final.
