Can anyone prevent Rafael Nadal from winning number 14 in the Roland Garros and winning the Grand Slam 22 title in his career?
The bull from Mallorca avenged Novak Djokovic for the loss in the semi-finals last year and is now the favorite to win, but today (Friday) a difficult battle awaits him against Sasha Zebrav, who is ranked third in the world.
Two Chapatrias who have never been to the semi-finals in Paris will then take to the field: Caspar Rod and Marin Cilic.

The bull from Mallorca will mark his 36th birthday tomorrow and hopes to celebrate the event with a ticket to the No. 14 final in his favorite tournament, perhaps the last time he takes part in it.
Nadal is the undisputed ruler of Roland Garros in particular and the clay tournaments in general, and his balance sheet against Zebrav stands at 3: 6, but the German has won three of the last four clashes, including on clay in Madrid last year.
Zebrav looked great in the face of the hit of the round Carlos Alcras and before that ousted Barnabas Spata Mirais so he would try to complete a streak of three wins over the Spaniards.
