Roland-Garros remains his kingdom. A year after falling to Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals, Rafael Nadal took his revenge on the Serb. The Spaniard brought down the defending champion on Tuesday May 31 in four sets (6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 [7-4]) at the end of a breathtaking 4:11 night battle.

Two days after suggesting that this shock could be his last match on the Parisian ocher, he is only one step away from a new final. But it will be necessary to pass the obstacle Alexander Zverev, in the semi-final on Friday, before considering fighting for a fourteenth coronation at the Porte d’Auteuil.
