The 2019 men's French Open Final is almost upon us at Roland Garros, with Sunday set for a repeat of last year's showpiece
Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer in devastating fashion in his semi-final on Friday, winning in straight sets for a 14th win on clay over his long-time rival.
Dominic Thiem sealed a rematch against the Spaniard 24 hours later, besting world No1 Novak Djokovic in a roller-coaster. five-set contest persistently suspended by rain.
The Austrian fourth seed eventually prevailed 6-2, 3-6, 7-5, 5-7, 7-5.
In 2018, Nadal brushed aside Thiem in straight sets 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 to win his 11th French Open and 17th Grand Slam singles title.
However, Thiem was the winner when the pair last met in the semi-finals of the Barcelona Open in April. That victory denied Nadal an ATP-record 12th tournament triumph in Barcelona.
