Caspar Road has a famous picture in the stands at the 2013 Roland Garros final, as a 13-and-a-half-year-old boy who came to see Rafael Nadal beat David Ferrer without problems.

Nine years later, and having also passed cum laude at Nadal's Academy in Mallorca, the Norwegian tennis player now meets Rafael Nadal at the Philippe Shatria in Paris, in order to prevent Alilo from winning 14 Roland Garros and a Grand Slam 22 career title.

Nadal, who celebrated his 36th birthday in the semi-finals on Friday when he saw his opponent Sasha Zebrav retire due to an injury at the end of the second set, is facing physical difficulties and is expected to take a time-out after the final and may also miss Wimbledon.

But before that, he wants to maintain a perfect balance in the finals in Paris (13 from 13 to date) and increase his advantage over Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in the number of majors wins.

The 23-year-old Rod is on a 10-win streak and has broken record after record for Norwegian tennis in the current tournament, but he has never met Nadal in an official match and he very much hopes to come out with his hand on the top in the Grand Slam final against whoever he recently defined "my idol all my life ".
