Novak Djokovic has reached the French Open final, after upsetting 13-time champion Rafael Nadal in 4 sets.

Djokovic who dropped the first set 6-3 against Nadal, paid him with the same coin in the second to level the match at 1 set apiece. The superstars played one of the best sets in years, featuring 4 service breaks and 14 break-points, with the Serbian battling through an intense tie-break to take a 2-sets-to-1 lead.

The Serbian ace paced it up in the 4th, breaking the king of clay 3 times to hand the Spaniard his 3rd defeat in 16 years and 108 matches at the French Open.

Djokovic has now reached his 6th Roland Garros final, where he will face 22-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas.
