We've seen hell of a game between Djokovic and Nadal. Nadal started really impressive and managed to win the first set (6-3). But Djokovic wasn't intending to give up and made a huge comeback. He won one of the sets after a tiebreak (7-4) but the other ones were more comfortable (6-3, 6-2).
Congrats to Djokovic for the 3-1 win and reaching the final!

Congrats for Djoko for winning over Nadal 3-1.
The scores were 6-3,3-6,6-7,2-6.
A semi-final of an exceptional level. I honestly would not have thought that Nadal could lose on his land.
Hats off to Djokovic, we can only bow, respect, well done Thank you for this moment top-flight tennis! Nadal's third defeat at Roland Garros .
If Djoko continues with this beast mode he would demolish Tsitsipas. Only that playing this game for 4 hours plus could affect his strengh for Finals.

This was an amazing match a beast mode like you said from novak djokovic no one can ever defeat him when he is playing like this. They are on another level from all other players. If he plays again like this he will crush tsisipas for sure probobly in straight sets. I dont think it will effect much because tsitsipas played a 5 set match as well

Yes very beautiful match and victory, Djokovic just showed he is currently the strongest tennis player in the world, I don't know if now his level is above Nadal on clay or if he had few more chance tonight but he just made a feat. I bet on Nadal but I'm really happy Novak won moreover I should be paid out as winner because of the 4games up in a set gives victory promotion https://archive.is/nHIHO The scores were 6-3,3-6,6-7,2-6.

Match Nadal - Djokovic live at the moment. I expected Nadal to pass easily, but it is 1-1 in sets and in my view this match can go either way. You should not be surprised if Djokovic is still going to win this match. This 3rd set is crucial. If Djokovic manages to win it, Nadal could be broken. But okay, it is to far to judge it for the moment.
ya.ya.yo!
Djokovic was the better player for last 2 hours but now it seems that momentum has started to change back in Nadal favor, Nadal just took the break back and equalized on 5:5 in 2nd set. Should be able to ride the momentum and clinch this 3rd set and then the match. ya.ya.yo!

Not looking well for my bet. Did not watch first set bet Zverev is playing like he is afraid to hit forehand. Had so many chances to attack shorter balls and did not take them. Hopefully he will throw caution to the wind and start hitting after he looses second set as well.
I think in tvis tournament tsitsipas was better ive seen the game and the first two sets was not good for zverev but after that he managed to comeback but unfortunatly it was not enough i bet on tstsipas win and i was not happy in the third and fourth sets. Many predict that Djokovic will defeat from Nadal in the semis, which is understandable because Djokovic's record against Nadal at RG is not good, but hope this match will play at least 4 sets.
@Strongkored I doubt that Djokovic will be able to beat Nadal in french open, and I’m really confident that Nadal will beat Djokovic because of his past record of winning at the French open. Also it’s quite possible that these two may stretch the match till the 4 sets, but then there’s also a possibility of Nadal winning it without the need of the 4th set.

Yes, it seems that when Tsitsipas broke him early, it's done for him, losing the first 2 set.Although he can go up ahead 3-1 in the third set, he seems to be timid with his forehand so Tsitsipas takes advantage of it and becoming the aggressor in this game.
So let's see, obviously, third set is crucial for him to win if he wanted to stay in the match.

Yea two great matches ahead, they are going to be close 5 setters. The odds favour
Tsitsipas and Nadal, but upsets are likely.
I have all my funds allocated to Rugby this weekend, im not able to call either semi final
but would like to see Tsitsipas v Nadal.

Should be great day for all tennis lovers here. It does not get much better than this.
My money is on over games and Zverev +5.5. Tsitsi is favourite but I feel like this one will go the distance.
In other match i have simple Nadal win, really can't say if it will be easy or 5 setter but I feel like Nadal has the edge to win this.

I am surprised that Tsitsipas is clear favorite for the bookmakers in his match against zverev with odds of only 1.40 for a win of tsitsipas. I think this will be a pretty open match and it is also very much possible that zverev will advance into the final.
In clay season this year both had pretty good results getting one title each so as you mentioned it should be an open match where both have the same chance to win and advance to the final.
Yes, and Tsitsipas won the Lyon Open tournament last May and has been in the finals in his last 2 or 3 clay court tournaments. So I guess book makers thinks that Tsitsipas will be the overwhelming favourite and basing on the tournament itself, how many sets did he lost before reaching the semis? He has been winning 3 or 4 matches and ripping opponents, just like what Rafa has done as well.

Yes, the mutual scores are in favor of nadal, which is only an even more important aspect here is that it is played on clay. If the match were played at Wimbledon or the US open, it would be more even. On clay, Nadal is normally just too good, also for Djokovic. But you never know, Djokovic is of course also a very good player and will want to win Paris one day again.

That's a pretty logical and not very surprising prediction as Nadal is still the king of clay and playing at his favorite tournament. When both players Djokovic and Nadal reach their normal performance level, then Nadal should go through. Maybe he will lose a set to djokovic (my guess would be either the first or second set) but in the end he should advance if he does not get an injury.

clearly doubt that they will play three sets only
it is true that Nadal is better at clay, but Djokovic is rarely in situation to lose match 3:0, this could be the one, but I do not think that is going to happen today
it is a motivation time, Nadal has a lot to lose, while Djokovic can only win today, and that could make the difference today, I expect 1:1 after two sets, and than who takes third to win the match

In the Women's section there will be a new champion again and almost every year in this one decade there is no women player who dominates the French Open, new names always appear as champions.

Yes i agree with you i think we will see a final between tsitsipas and nadal since they both are in a big form and they proved it against though opponents djokovic need to be 100% in order to win if he play poorely like he did against musseti and berretini he can lose 3 0.
I think the final will indeed be Tsitsipas vs Ndadal with Nadal winning the title.
On paper the semi final of Nadal vs Djokovic is interesting and could go all the way but it could also be a one sided match (as the final of last yeear).
I wanted Tsitsipas to win as well, it will be the young gen vs the old guard in the finals for this year. And maybe why the draw was pretty obvious in the beginning.
Both Stepanos and Rafa are the clear favorite to win their respective matches today.
And I do hope that they are going to be the one contesting for this title this year. Wanted to see how Tsitsipas will fare against the greatest clay court players we have. If he can win against Rafa in the biggest stage in Roland Garros, then maybe, just maybe we might see the young generations taking over the Grand Slams.
If ever Tsitsipas and Nadal faces in this year Roland Garros, I think Nadal will still be the favourite to win again. Nothing against Tsitsipas he is one of the rising star of the next generation of players, but Nadal is still playing high level in the last clay court tournaments.
He might give a scare, but Nadal will still prevail I reckon. But before we talk about that, we have to wait and see if they are going to win in the semis.
