Paris-Sana
Spanish champion Rafael Nadal managed to defeat top seed Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals of Roland Garros.
Nadal defeated defending champion Novak, in three sets to one, after nearly four hours of intense competition between the players, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6.
In this way, Nadal qualified for the semi-finals, where he will meet German Alexander Zverev, who had previously defeated young Spaniard Carlos Alcaras in three sets to one.
Djokovic, who dominated three major tournaments last year, deprived Nadal of winning his 13th title in France last year, when he beat him in the semi-finals.
This confrontation is considered the classico of tennis matches, as it is the 59th confrontation between the players, as the most players have faced, and Nadal, after his victory, reduced the score to 29-30, in the record of confrontations.
The results of the Spanish player on clay courts have put him at the top of the nominations in the tournaments held on them, especially Roland Garros, in which he has 110 victories against only 3 defeats.
