Roland Garros Finals: Federer plays Nadal.
Jun 07
Roger Federer will play Rafael Nadal in the final of the French Open after the world number one beat Gael Monfils 6-2 5-7 6-3 7-5.
The top-ranked Federer endured some messy moment in the semifinal. Knocked down but not out, he wiped off the dirt and defeated unseeded Frenchman Gael Monfils 6-2, 5-7, 6-3, 7-5.
On the other side, Nadal’s earlier semifinal was close only by his standards: He lost 12 games and nearly lost a set. The king of clay beat No. 3-seeded Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (3).
Nadal had lost only three games in each of his previous two matches. He’s one win from becoming the first player since Bjorn Borg in 1981 to win four consecutive French Open titles, while Federer seeks the only Grand Slam title he has yet to win.
“Against Federer is special,” Nadal said. “I will try and face history.”
With regard to the Women’s singles, Ana Ivanovic and Dinara Safina will bid for their first Grand Slam title Saturday in the women’s final.
The Roland Garros Men’s Finals will air Live on ESPN India at 6:30 p.m. on 8th June.
