Despite the gulf in experience, Ruud's battling third round performance to claw back a win from two sets to one down against against Lorenzo Sonego demonstrated that the 23-year-old shouldn't be underestimated in what will be the first ever meeting between these two players. Ruud, by contrast, is the first Norwegian player to reach a Grand Slam singles final. The 36-year-old has once again looked in imperious form at a tournament he has dominated for the past 17 years, with this match marking his 30th appearance in a Grand Slam final, his second of the year and his 14th at Roland Garros. Nadal reached the final after his last four opponent Alexander Zverev needed to be taken off court in a wheelchair after sustaining an ankle injury in the match that the Spaniard Nadal was leading 7-6 (10-8) 6-6.
