At 20:00 tonight (Vietnam time), two players Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will enter the Roland Garros final. This is the historic match for both players.
After crossing the rival line, the two players No. 1 and No. 2 of the world Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will meet in the final of Roland Garros 2020. This is a match that deserves to be expected by the letter. Heroes between two players in the softball town.
Ahead of this match, Novak Djokovic goes through a journey of destruction when he hasn’t lost a match on the ATP Tour in 2020 (not counting the loss to Carreño Busta at the US Open for a mistake of deliberately hitting the ball to the referee).
The Serbian player has shown himself worthy of the position number 1 in the world when he shows great skill. For example, the semi-final at Roland Garros with Stefanos Tsitsipas. Although the opponent drew 2-2, Novak Djokovic still did not lose heart.
Instead, he easily won in the deciding 5 set with a score of 6-1. Or like the quarterfinal match against Carreño Busta, Novak Djokovic lost the first set but stood out to go against the current and win 3-1.
Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal’s path to the final looks flatter without losing any sets since the start of the tournament. It is not surprising that clay is the stronghold of the Spanish.
Rafael Nadal is the absolute king of Roland Garros with 12 times of coronation. He currently has 19 Grand Slam championships and has a chance to level Roger Federer’s record of 20 championships.
In the opposite direction, Novak Djokovic is “less charming” on clay, when there was only one coronation in the past (in 2016). However, the Serbian advantage when he is in better shape than Rafael Nadal.
When it comes to head-to-head achievements, Novak Djokovic is dominant. In the past, the Serbian player achieved 29 victories and only lost 26 matches to Rafael Nadal. The last time Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam was in the 2014 Roland Garros final.
In the last meeting at Roland Garros in 2015, it was the Serbian player who beat Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals (although Nadal was playing on the field).
If crowned, Novak Djokovic will have the 18th time to win the Grand Slam award in his career and will close out two tennis players Rafael Nadal (19 times) and Roger Federer (20 times).
Before the fateful battle, both players were extremely confident. Novak Djokovic said: “I only need a day and a half to recover before the final. I can’t wait to meet Rafael Nadal.
Meanwhile, the Spaniard is not ashamed of his rival: “I played the semi-finals very well, but I will do better in the final.”
The downside to Novak Djokovic is that he appears to have suffered neck and shoulder injuries before the game. That made it difficult for the Serbian in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal has prepared well for Roland Garros when he refused to attend the US Open last month.
However, nobody doubts the bravery of Novak Djokovic. Rafael Nadal is also a very stubborn tennis player. It is this factor, plus the level of the two players, the guarantee of an extremely satisfactory final.
