Rafael Nadal is going for No. 9 at the French Open, and the only man who can stop him is Novak Djokovic.
Nadal is already a record eight-time champion with a 65-1 career record at Roland Garros. One more victory on the red clay would make him the first man to win five in a row and give him his 14th Grand Slam title -- a tie in second place with Pete Sampras.
The top-seeded Spaniard reached the final by beating Wimbledon champion Andy Murray 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 Friday on Court Philippe Chatrier, the stadium Nadal calls his favorite place to play. Djokovic defeated Ernests Gulbis 6-3, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in the first semifinal.
