Nadal is back in the final of the main event on the clay for the 14th time. As you know, he has never lost a decisive match at Roland Garros.
Nadal’s toughest match at this tournament is behind him. In the quarter-finals, Rafa defeated Novak Djokovic (6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6).
It was probably Rafa’s best match not only this season but in the last couple of years as well. A truly unbelievable level – Nadal confirmed that he is not called the King by accident.
The meeting with Alexander Zverev was also a test, but here the outcome was as dramatic as possible. Zverev sprained his ankle in the tie-break of the second set and was unable to continue. Yes, Nadal was a little bit lucky, because his opponent also played fantastically.
Nadal has a winning streak of 13 consecutive Grand Slam matches.
He has played 11 games on clay this season and has 9 wins.

Ruud, meanwhile, reached a Grand Slam final for the first time in his career, making his debut in the top-5 next week.
In the semi-finals, Casper defeated Marin Cilic (3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2), who had sensationally stopped Daniil Medvedev (6-2, 6-3, 6-2) and Andrey Rublev (5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6) before that.
Unlike Alexander and Daniil, Ruud only had problems with Cilic in the first set. After that, Ruud was in complete control of everything that was happening on the court.
It was the same in the quarter-final against Holger Rune (6-1, 4-6, 7-6, 6-3). Ruud let Rune take one set, but played better overall.
Interestingly, Ruud has won 66 matches on the ground since 2020. It’s the best result on the tour.
Ruud has lost 7 of his last 10 fights against higher-ranked opponents.
He has played 26 games on clay this season and has 21 wins.
