Rafael Nadal won the 35th - and arguably most extraordinary – meeting with Novak Djokovic when the Serb’s concentration finally cracked to allow him into yet another French Open final.

After four hours and 36 minutes the seven-times champion eventually outpointed Djokovic 6-4 3-6 6-1 6-7 9-7 after an epic encounter which it had appeared he had won three times before ultimately doing so.
While Djokovic contemplates missing a chance to add the one Grand Slam title he is missing to his collection, Nadal was left waiting for the winner of the other semi-final between Jo Wilfried Tsonga and David Ferrer, which did not begin before 6.15pm due to another marathon between the two great rivals.
