PARIS - The past will not mean anything to Rafa Nadal when he takes on world number one Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s French Open final with two more milestones up for grabs.The Spaniard, who has dominated the claycourt major for over a decade, will be eyeing a record-extending 13th Roland Garros title and a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam crown when he resumes an old rivalry with Serbia’s Djokovic.
The second-seeded Spaniard has lost only two of 101 matches at Roland Garros, one of them against Djokovic in the quarter-finals in 2015. “I can’t predict the future... The only thing I know is to play against Novak, I need to play my best. Without playing my best tennis, the situation is very difficult.”“I know that is a court that I have been playing well for such a long time, so that helps,” he said.
