In gentlemen, Roland Garros 2020 will once again offer a final that we know particularly well: Rafael Nadal face Novak Djokovic.

RG 2020: A prestigious final

The world number 1 against the world number 2, a prestigious poster that allows the internationals of France to breathe in the men because it is the assurance of having record figures in the media. The public wants and asks for more!

The Spaniard continues to surprise by reaching the final in Paris almost quietly, beating in the semi-final one of the favorites of the circuit: the 13th world, Diego Schwartzman. The Argentinian could not do anything this Friday against the overpowering blows of the Spanish. Too regular, too strong, Rafa controlled his prey to the point of inflicting a severe 7/0 in the tie-break of the 3rd set.

Djoko the only one to make Roland doubt Nadal?

In any case, Nole arrives with a lot of confidence. An almost perfect Parisian course. No loss on a regular basis if we put aside the American mishap. Victory in Cincinnati, then in Rome, one could almost have the impression that Novak Djokovic is the favorite of the final.

The Greek Tsitsipas made resistance. He fought by coming back to 2 sets everywhere after being logically led 2 sets to 0. The Serbian manhandled at first, but he managed to free himself at the end of this 3rd set by saving a match point and by winning a beautiful set point on Djoko's serve. Behind, the Greek inflicts a 5/0 between the end of the 3rd and the beginning of the 4th set. Tsitsipas comes back to 2 sets everywhere. But physically, it's very hard, especially as the Greek has in the legs the tournament in Hamburg before Roland Garros.

He is out of breath in this 5th set. The Serbian does the job and clearly wins in this decisive set.

Young people push but as often, do not manage to pass, to dislodge the bosses of world tennis for so many years. The BIG 3: Nadal, Djoko and Federer continue to reign supreme on the tennis planet.

Novak Djokovic loses two sets in his half, but he will also be at 100% of his capacity against Nadal even if he may have suffered more than expected in this match.

Nadal, the favorite!

Make no mistake, Rafael Nadal will as always be the favorite to his own succession. The Master of the premises will play a final with the batteries fully charged. No set lost since the start of the fortnight.

Will Novak be able to master Spanish? What if that's the case for a whole game? See you on Sunday for this 8th confrontation and the grand final of the French Open which will conclude 2 weeks of great tennis.
