Rafael Nadal demonstrated once again why he is the greatest player in French Open history by beating long-time rival Novak Djokovic in a late-night thriller to reach the men's singles semi-finals.

New Delhi, 01 June 2022                                                         

As per news report of BBC, Nadal, going for a 14th title, started superbly and fought off resistance from defending champion Djokovic to win 6-2 4-6 6-2 7-6 (7-4) at Roland Garros. Nadal secured victory at 1:15am local time after over four hours on court. The 21-time Grand Slam winner now faces third seed Alexander Zverev on Friday. Germany's Zverev, 25, reached the semi-finals for the second successive year after surviving teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz's fightback earlier on Tuesday. "To win against Novak there is only one way: to play your best from the first point to the last," said 35-year-old Nadal, who thanked the Paris crowd for showing their "love".
