World No.1 Rafael Nadal reached his 6th French Open Final, with a straight sets victory over Andy Murray, setting up a blockbuster clash with World No.2 Roger Federer. Nadal has been quite shaky in the beginning, losing 2 sets to John Isner in the first round and 2 Masters Series Finals on clay to Djokovic prior to French Open, but has recovered and is currently playing at his best.If Nadal wins French Open he will retain his No.1 ranking which was threatened by Djokovic and will equal Bjorn Borg's record of 6 French Open titles.
Roger Federer silenced his critics with his 4 set semifinal over Djokovic, who said "Federer is no more a grandslam contender after failing to reach a grandslam final since his win at 2010 Australian Open and has only won a single ATP title this year".If Federer wins Nadal, he would write another chapter in history by finally breaking the Nadal jinx esp at the French Open,where Nadal was barely troubled by Federer.It would also be a testimony to the argument that he is indeed the greatest player of all time.
Head to Head:
Nadal leads 16-8.
This is their 8th grandslam final meeting.Nadal leads 5-2 in grandslam finals.
