Nadal came from behind in the fifth set to punch his ticket to the Finals.  No.1-ranked Djokovic is still yet to win at Roland Garros in his career.

“I feel very special every time that I have the chance to play here in this course,” the seven-time French Open champ told the Tennis Channel after the match. 

Nadal has a career record of 58-1 on the clay course and will face the winner of David Ferrer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Sunday.

On the women’s side, Serena Williams will take on Maria Sharapova in the final on Saturday
