It yet another display of tremendous tennis between the rivals, Novak Djokovic outlasted Rafael Nadal on Friday to advance to the final of the French Open.
The top-seeded Djokovic won 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2. He will next face Stefanos Tsitsipas, who beat Alexander Zverev in five sets earlier Friday, in the final of the Grand Slam event on Sunday.
After trailing 0-2 in the fourth set, Djokovic rattled off six consecutive games to halt Nadal's quest for a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title.
Nadal, a 14-time winner of the French Open who turned 35 last week, fell to 105-3 in his career at Roland Garros -- with two of those losses now at the hands of Djokovic.
