French open when is the men final

The year-old produced a fast start in the semifinals against Zverev, but he was forced to go the distance to advance.

If Tsitsipas is unable to close at any point of the match, Djokovic should flip the momentum right back in his favor. Even though Djokovic has 18 Grand Slam titles, he should have plenty of hunger to capture the title on the Paris clay. Djokovic finally ended Nadal's dominant streak at Roland-Garros he's won every men's tournament there since and 13 in total and has a chance to win his second title in Paris.

He captured the crown in a four-set final over Andy Murray. With a win, Djokovic will put himself into position to eclipse Federer and Nadal on the men's all-time Grand Slam win chart by the end of the season. A French Open title would put him at 19, and he should be the favorite at Wimbledon later in the summer. The same could be said about the U. Open, where he would be seeded higher than Nadal.

Federer may not win a major in because of the knee issues he is going through. Start times are for Court Philippe Chatrier. Play on outer courts begins at am daily. This schedule is subject to change. We had a great time at the French Open and Paris. Good seats, they were in the shade. It was great since some of those days were hot. We love your company and always spread the word about it whenever possible. The Serb won his only Roland Garros title in and another would make the first man in the Open era to win all four majors twice.

Djokovic reached his sixth French Open final after ending Nadal's four-year reign on Friday. The victory came in a semi-final that will be long remembered and ranked among the all-time great matches on the Paris clay. The Serb described the four-set win as "one of the top three matches" in his career. It was only the third defeat for Nadal in matches at Roland Garros. Djokovic beat the Spaniard in the quarter-finals and became the first player to record two wins over Nadal there.

Sweden's Robin Soderling was the other player to beat Nadal when he stunned him in the fourth round. Both Djokovic and Soderling ended up losing in the finals of those tournaments.

It's really now just about taking things slowly until the day of the final. Once the men's singles draw pitted third seed Nadal in the same half as Djokovic, many predicted this would be Tsitsipas' best chance so far to reach a major final.

The Greek is the leading player on the ATP Tour in and is most comfortable on clay, winning more matches on the surface than any other man this year.

Nevertheless, he still had to overcome second seed Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals - even though the Russian had never previously excelled on the red dirt - and then German sixth seed Alexander Zverev in the last four. Like Djokovic, he too faced an intense battle. Tsitsipas led by two sets before Zverev levelled, but he overcame the wobble to win the decider and earn a first shot at a major title.

I would have never thought that I would," he said. I actually love what I'm doing.
