Thirteen-time champion Rafael Nadal has lost to Novak Djokovic in the French Open semi-finals.
Nadal lost their 58th showdown 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2.
It is only the third time Nadal has lost at his favourite tournament. Djokovic is responsible for two of those defeats.
Fans were allowed to stay in the stadium, despite Paris’ strict coronavirus lockdown curfew.
Djokovic won the French Open in 2016 and could join Rod Laver and Roy Emerson as the only men to win each of the four grand slam tournaments twice.
He will face Stefanos Tsitsipas in Sunday’s final after the 22-year-old beat Alexander Zverev in five, gruelling sets, 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3.
More to come.
