Novak Djokovic renews his epic 16-year rivalry with Rafael Nadal at the French Open on Tuesday with a semi-final spot at stake.

It's not going to be an easy thing for me to play at 9:30 at night with no sunlight, with no heat, and 8 degrees." It's a huge challenge and probably the biggest one that you can have here." And being honest, every match that I play here, I don't know if it's going to be my last at Roland Garros. I can't complain much," said Nadal, who arrived in Paris unsure if he would be able to take part after suffering a recurrence in Rome of a chronic foot injury which has plagued him for large parts of his career.

Rafael Nadal does not like playing tennis at Roland Garros in the cooler, heavier conditions at night, particularly against Novak Djokovic.

Of the two, Coco Gauff against Sloane Stephens looks the more likely to produce a surprise result. However, she did beat Gauff in straight sets at the US Open last year meaning there is some suspicion she could provide stiff opposition when they get underway around 12.15pm. The match that precedes it on Chatrier is well worth watching too though.

RAFAEL NADAL is currently gunning for a 14th French Open title at Roland Garros, but doubts are growing as to whether the 'King of Clay' will be back in ...

The respect I have for him because he is 35 years old and he can keep getting psyched up every single day for these matches." His triumph in Melbourne was considered an unlikely one, considering he missed the latter months of 2021 with an ankle injury. Nadal, 35, is aiming for an unprecedented 14th title at Roland Garros, but was pushed all the way in his last-16 tie by Canadian youngster Felix Auger-Aliassime.

“Normally I don’t (look at the draw). But now I know who is there. I could manage the important points,” she said on a sunny but chilly morning in Paris. “Zero mistakes,” Kasatkina said when asked about her game plan.

Daria Kasatkina dropped just four games against Camila Giorgi to return to the Roland Garros last eight for the first time since 2018, while Veronika ...

Kudermetova maintained that lead to level the match, and held her nerve in an edgy final game to convert her seventh set point. By contrast, with eight previous quarterfinal-or-better showings at majors under her belt, including at the Australian Open in January, Keys held the edge in experience. Kasatkina improved her head-to-head against Giorgi to 2-0, having previously beaten the Italian in the 2020 Lyon quarterfinals. Seven extended deuce games could have swung either way; Kasatkina won six of them, including all four in the first set. The 25-year-old had not reached the second week of a Grand Slam since making back-to-back quarterfinals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon in 2018. Former World No.10 Kasatkina has yet to drop a set, and indeed has conceded just 14 games in four matches so far.
