Novak Djokovic dethroned Rafael Nadal in an all-time classic encounter to reach the French Open final, winning 3-6 6-3 7-6 6-2 in a match that lasted more than four hours

The men's world No. 1 became the first player to beat the 'King of Clay' in the semifinals at Roland Garros and also the first man to win a match against Nadal at the French Open after dropping the first set.As the match entered its closing stages, Andy Roddick, who won the US Open in 2003 tweeted:"To this point, it's one of the best matches I've ever seen," while Andy Murray described the contest between Nadal and Djokovic as"perfect.

Those fans lucky enough to have tickets for this match were even allowed to stay to its conclusion, despite the semifinal exceeding an 11 p.m. Covid-19 curfew, which previously forced spectators to leave Roland Garros even mid-match.Fans in attendance cheered wildly as a French Open official announced that public authorities had agreed to let spectators stay for the entirety of the match."Probably it was not my best day today, even if I fought," said Nadal.
