Nadal will seek his 14th Roland Garros against the surprising Ruud

Nadal, 36, comes from beating Alexander Zverev (seeded number 3) in a rough semifinal, since in the second set, the German strongly sprained his ankle, and could not continue.

Until that moment, Nadal won 7-6 (10/8), and 6-6 in the second, in a very even game, in which it seemed that Rafa was taking a slight advantage.

For his part, Ruud (number 8 in the world), in the second semifinal, accounted for the Croatian Marin Cilic (number 23), whom he defeated 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 and 6-2.

Ruud, 23, is already the best Norwegian tennis player in history, and the first to reach a final at a Grand Slam tournament.

In full ascent, it remains to be seen if the Nordic will be enough to defeat a legend like Nadal, who after a break last year due to injury, returned to the circuit in top form, and also plays in Paris at home.
