So that is that: a much briefer game than many will have expected, but with an unsurprising result given the respective form of the two players. This is Djokovic\u2019s first win over Nadal at the French Open. He will go on to face the winner of the match currently taking place on Suzanne Lenglen, where Andy Murray leads David Ferrer by two sets to nil. In the other half of the draw, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will face Stan Wawrinka. The men will play on Friday; with the women\u2019s semi-finals to take place on Philippe Chatrier tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Djokovic vs. Nadal lasted less than two and a half hours. While both men hit the same number of aces, and shared a similar first serve percentage (63% to 60%), Djokovic won much more often on both his first and second serve (76% to 59%; 60% to 38%); struck 45 winners compared to Nadal\u2019s 16; and also impressed coming into the net, winning 25 of his points across 36 visits. Both men made 30 unforced errors; but in general Djokovic was able to put more pressure on Nadal, and force him into mistakes. Nadal\u2019s forehand in particular stuttered throughout the match, too often looping short. After working so hard to get back into the first set from 4-0 down, he let the second set slip away from 3-3 and could do nothing to halt the tide in the third.<\/p>\n

Djokovic will be the strong favourite looking ahead to the rest of the tournament, hoping to add the French Open to his collection and thereby complete a Career Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

17:13 \u2013 Nadal makes two errors, the second looping high into the sky and \u2013 wait for it \u2013 eventually landing out. Then Djokovic punishes him with a forehand winner for three match points. Alas, a double fault and he has the victory.\u00a0Djokovic 7-5, 6-3, 6-1 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

17:10 \u2013 Characteristically, Nadal is trying to dig in; but the mobility isn\u2019t there and Djokovic continues to force the issue and hit winners. He holds to love and stands a game away from the semi-finals.\u00a0Djokovic 7-5, 6-3, 5-1 Nadal*<\/strong><\/p>\n

17:06 \u2013 Nadal comes from behind to hold and take his first game of this third set.\u00a0*Djokovic 7-5, 6-3, 4-1 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

17:02 \u2013 Djokovic\u2019s first serve win percentage tore ahead of Nadal\u2019s towards the end of the second set, and he continues to look pretty secure on his serve. Another clever touch at the net gives him 30-0. Nadal takes the next couple of points; but a net cord hands Djokovic the game.\u00a0Djokovic 7-5, 6-3, 4-0 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:57 \u2013 The first double fault of the match opens the game, and then two winners from Djokovic\u2019s forehand give him three break points. Nadal pulls it back to 30-40, but another forehand winner puts Djokovic into what would seem an unassailable lead. *Djokovic 7-5, 6-3, 3-0 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:53 \u2013 From 40-0 to 40-30, but Djokovic comes through to hold.\u00a0Djokovic 7-5, 6-3, 2-0 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:48 \u2013 Nadal really let that second set slip away from him, and now Djokovic breaks in the first game of the third set. Nadal volleys into the net at advantage Djokovic. *Djokovic 7-5, 6-3, 1-0 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:41 \u2013 While Djokovic hit more than double the winners but also more errors in the first set, Nadal has ramped up the unforced errors over the past couple of games. He errs twice to give Djokovic two set points. But now Djokovic tenses up, and we arrive at deuce. He lets another set point go; then comes in on a second serve, and shows wonderful hands to flick a low return over the net. He makes the most of his fourth opportunity, moving into a two-set lead.\u00a0Djokovic 7-5, 6-3 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile on Suzanne Lenglen, Andy Murray has taken the first set by virtue of a tie-break.<\/p>\n

16:34 \u2013 After a well constructed rally, culminating in a backhand smash, puts Nadal 30-15 up, he loses the next two points, hitting a forehand wide down the line to give Djokovic his first break point of the set. Deuce; advantage Nadal; deuce; and Nadal goes just wide to give advantage Djokovic. With Djokovic getting an excellent depth on his shots, Nadal finally goes wide and long and Djokovic breaks. Djokovic *7-5, 5-3 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:25 \u2013 Yet another comfortable hold to love for Djokovic.\u00a0Djokovic 7-5, 4-3 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:22 \u2013 Nadal recovers from 15-30 to hold. While there have been fewer aces in this second set, and both men are achieving a lower first serve percentage, they are staying at the back of the court and dominating on their serve. Their second serve win percentages this set are markedly higher. *Djokovic 7-5, 3-3 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:16 \u2013 Now Djokovic holds to love. Far from a break point, there hasn\u2019t even been a deuce so far in this second set which, aside from the slippages, is progressing serenely.\u00a0Djokovic 7-5, 3-2 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:13 \u2013 Nadal holds to love. And we have new balls. *Djokovic 7-5, 2-2 Nadal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Djokovic complained to the chair umpire at the last changeover regarding the dryness of the clay court: it wasn\u2019t watered between the first and second set, and the players are increasingly slipping and sliding about.<\/p>\n

16:08 \u2013 A loose backhand at 40-15 from Nadal, and Djokovic holds. Djokovic 7-5, 2-1 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:04 \u2013 Despite an excellent reach at the net from Djokovic to win the point at 40-15, a powerful forehand winner gives Nadal the game. *Djokovic 7-5, 1-1 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

16:00 \u2013 Djokovic holds in the first game of the second set, courtesy of a backhand winner. Djokovic 7-5, 1-0 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:54 \u2013 At 30-15, Nadal misses an eminently makeable smash, and when Djokovic takes the next point, he faces his fourth for the first set. Nadal saves himself, nailing a harder smash from a deeper position. Djokovic earns and then passes up yet another\u00a0set point; but Nadal finally hits wide and Djokovic has the first set in 67\u00a0minutes. *Djokovic 7-5 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:45 \u2013 A relatively straightforward hold for Djokovic. Djokovic 6-5 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:42 \u2013 With Djokovic increasingly going cross court, and the rallies now much more competitive than they were at the start of the set, Djokovic earns a set point. Nadal comes back; but after another long rally, with Djokovic reacting well to a high ball on the baseline and pulling and pushing Nadal all over the court with drop shots and lobs, Djokovic has another point for the set. Nadal recovers again, only for the umpire to issue him with a time violation at deuce. A third set-point for Djokovic; but Nadal ultimately holds. *Djokovic 5-5 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:28 \u2013 Now Djokovic holds his serve to love, finishing the game with an inside-out forehand. Djokovic 5-4 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:25 \u2013 Nadal holds to love, with Djokovic struggling to get anything on his serve. *Djokovic 4-4 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:21 \u2013 A remarkable turnaround given the first four games. With Djokovic testing Nadal\u2019s backhand now, a few wayward shots give Nadal two break points. Djokovic volleys to save the first, and then the second; and then has to save a third as Nadal gains the advantage. But at the fourth time of asking, Nadal breaks. We are back on serve. Djokovic 4-3 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andy Murray vs. David Ferrer is set to commence on Suzanne Lenglen.<\/p>\n

15:13 \u2013 Nadal is getting more pace and kick on his forehand, and more depth too. He holds his serve comfortably, and for the first time this match. *Djokovic 4-2 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile over on Suzanne Lenglen, Switzerland\u2019s Timea Bacsinszky\u00a0has just won 6-4, 7-5 against Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium. The semi-final draw for the women is complete, with Serena Williams facing Bacsinszky, and Ana Ivanovic to meet Lucie Safarova.<\/p>\n

15:07 \u2013 Much better from Nadal, who takes a 0-30 lead. Djokovic takes the next two points, but a passing shot as Djokovic moves in to the net gives Nadal his first break point, which he successfully takes. That\u2019s one break back for Nadal. Djokovic 4-1 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:03 \u2013 Nadal, struggling with his movement and mistiming his shots from the back of the court, gives Djokovic three break points. He gets it back to 15-40; but after an excellent rally, full of drop shots and lobs, Djokovic prevails and breaks again. *Djokovic 4-0 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:57 \u2013 Djokovic holds, with Nadal managing a couple of points but his forehand still faltering. Djokovic 3-0 Nadal*<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

14:53 \u2013 Djokovic breaks. Nadal\u2019s forehand has been the cause of some concern throughout the tournament so far, and with his forehand looping only to the half-court, Djokovic dominates the game from the baseline. *Djokovic 2-0 Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:49 \u2013 Djokovic holds serve to love in the opening game, dropping the ball short at the net and just beyond Nadal\u2019s powers of recovery, before finishing off with an ace. Djokovic 1-0 Nadal*.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Today\u2019s match will take place on the Philippe Chatrier court, following yesterday\u2019s drama during the encounter between Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Kei Nishikori. Play was paused for more than half an hour towards the end of the second set, after a section of the stadium\u2019s scoreboard fell in the wind. One spectator was taken to hospital with an injury to his wrist. Earlier on the court today, Serena Williams progressed to the semi-finals of the women\u2019s draw with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Sara Errani.<\/p>\n

Djokovic and Nadal have completed their warm-up, and are ready to begin with Djokovic on serve. (* Indicates next to serve).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Welcome to today\u2019s 2015 French Open quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Djokovic arrives at this stage of the tournament after victories over Jarkko Nieminen, Gilles\u00a0Muller, Thanasi Kokkinakis, and Richard Gasquet, which have seen him fail to drop a single set. More, Djokovic is yet to be challenged at this French Open in a tie-break. Achieving the same over the first three rounds against Quentin Halys, Nicolas Almagro, and Andrey Kuznetsov, Nadal lost the third set of his fourth-round match against 22-year-old American Jack Sock, before finishing the match off in the fourth set.<\/p>\n

Djokovic is now on 26-match winning streak; he hasn\u2019t lost on clay all year; and he is unbeaten in a Grand Slam or Masters event since last October in Shanghai. Djokovic beat Andy Murray in February to take his fifth Australian Open title, and his eighth Grand Slam in total. He followed this up with triumphs at Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, and Rome.<\/p>\n

On the other hand Nadal has won just one title in the past twelve months, since defeating Djokovic in the final of last year\u2019s French Open: he emerged victorious at the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires at the beginning of March. A string of injuries brought a premature end to his season in 2014. This year he has struggled across the European clay court season, falling to Djokovic in Monte Carlo, Fabio Fognini in Barcelona, Andy Murray in the final in Madrid, and Stan Wawrinka in Rome. This is why Djokovic and Nadal are meeting so early in this year\u2019s French Open: with Nadal having fallen to seventh in the world rankings, the French Open organisers stuck firmly to tradition and seeded Nadal only sixth.<\/p>\n

Yet Nadal is a nine-time French Open champion, with a 70-1 record at the tournament. Djokovic and Nadal have met more times than any other two players in the Open Era: 43 times in total, with Nadal holding a slender 23-20 advantage. On clay, Nadal holds a more significant 14-5 lead. Given their respective form however, Nadal\u2019s injury troubles over the past few years, and Djokovic\u2019s success in Monte Carlo, Djokovic heads into today\u2019s match as the slight favourite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
