When the shock of the injured opponent and the disappointment of winning by retirement wears off, Nadal ought to be considerably happier. This was heading for a five-hour match, so the fact that Nadal was able to get on and off the court in barely three hours ought to benefit him Sunday.

The injury brought an early end to a match that was on course for being one of the best of the season. The last retirement in a Grand Slam semi-final or final came at the 2018 US Open, when Nadal retired against Juan Martin del Potro after the second set, with the Argentine leading their semi-final clash 7-6, 6-2. Of course for me, as everyone knows, to be in the final of Roland Garros for another time is a dream, without a doubt. Nadal then saved four set points in the tie-break, battling back from 2/6 to clinch a mammoth first set after one hour and 31 minutes. The intensity did not drop in a pulsating second set that reached another tie-break before a match that promised to become the best of the year was cruelly truncated. He held four set points in a dramatic first-set tie-break before Nadal produced a jaw-dropping combination of offense and defense to claim the opener.

Con una pequeña palmada, y con un gesto tremendamente serio, Nadal esperó a que Zverev abandonara la pista, algo que hizo en silla de ruedas, lo cual presagiaba que el partido acabaría en ese instante.

France Tennis French Open Spain's Rafael Nadal walks alongside Germany's Alexander Zverev who retired with an ankle injury in the semifinal match at the French Open tennis tournament in Roland Garros stadium in Paris, France, Friday, June 3, 2022.

The second set also was headed to a tiebreaker after another 1 1/2 hours when Zverev tumbled behind the baseline and lost a point that allowed Nadal to hold serve for 6-all. The oldest champion so far was Andres Gimeno, who was 34 in 1972. “That’s why I was not able to create the damage that I wanted.” Later, an errant backhand let Nadal break for the first time, making it 4-all and sending red-and-yellow Spanish flags flapping in the stands.

Now he will try to become the oldest champion at a tournament he’s already won a record 13 times, facing first-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud on Sunday. “Even if for me it’s a dream to be in the final of Roland Garros, of course that way is not the way that we want it to be.

Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal advanced to the men's French Open final on Friday, after opponent Alexander Zverev was forced to retire due to an injury.

Both players were escorted off the court while the individual was removed by security. On Sunday he will face Norway's Casper Ruud, who defeated Croatian Marin Cilic in the semifinal 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 to advance to his first career grand slam final. The spectators gave Zverev a raucous ovation as he shook the chair umpire's hand and hugged Nadal.

El tenista español se mostró feliz de tener la oportunidad de volver a ser campeón de Roland Garros pero sigue preocupado por sus problemas físicos.

Rafa Nadal es consciente de que está en el ocaso de su trayectoria deportiva está y que, más allá de todos los éxitos que ha conseguido, tiene que pensar en su futuro fuera de la pista. Significa muchísimo estar en la final”, reconoció Rafael Nadal ante los micrófonos. El jugador español acumula 111 triunfos y solamente tres derrotas en este Grand Slam y, pese a sus dificultades físicas, es el gran favorito a ganar el torneo. “He hecho todo para darme una oportunidad de estar donde estoy y de estar en la final de Roland Garros. Es un sueño hecho realidad que vale todos los sacrificios”, comentó

A trainer came out to attend to him, and Nadal walked around the net to check on Zverev too. The second set also was headed to a tiebreaker after another 1½ hours when Zverev tumbled behind the baseline and lost a point that allowed Nadal to hold serve for 6-all. “That’s why I was not able to create the damage that I wanted.” Later, an errant backhand let Nadal break for the first time, making it 4-all and sending red-and-yellow Spanish flags flapping in the stands. So I wish him all the best and a very fast recovery.” The oldest champion so far was Andres Gimeno, who was 34 in 1972. He probably had no business getting to Zverev’s sharp volley, let alone fashioning that short of a response. Zverev crumpled to the ground, wailing in agony and clutching at his lower leg.

The sudden end to a contest that was three hours old but not even through two full sets allowed Nadal to become, on his 36th birthday, the second-oldest men’s finalist in French Open history. “Even if for me it’s a dream to be in the final of Roland Garros, of course that way is not the way that we want it to be.

Spaniard celebrates his 36th birthday by reaching another RG final, but not in the way he was hoping to get there.

I played, I fighted, I did all the things possible to give myself at least a chance to be where I am. “And here I am. That injury sidelined him for weeks leading up to Roland-Garros, and he had been approaching his best level once again when the foot became a factor again.

Ruud, de 23 años, será el primer tenista noruego en disputar una final de un torneo major. Nadal "es el ejemplo perfecto de cómo debes comportarte en la cancha: Nunca rendirte y nunca quejarte. Para el duelo entre Ruud y Cilic, el techo fue abierto. Su rival será el noruego Casper Ruud, que en la segunda semifinal superó 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 al croata Marin Cilic. Poco más de tres horas después del inicio del partido, Zverev corría hacia su derecha para perseguir un tiro del español al momento de desplomarse.

Zverev had played some of his finest and gutsiest tennis in his quarterfinal victory over the 19-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, and was another big hurdle for Nadal, all the more so under a closed center court roof. So just all the best to him and all the team.” “Being in the final of Roland Garros one more time is a dream without a doubt,” Nadal said in his on-court interview.

Rafael Nadal is feeling good after spending nearly 12 hours on court over the course of his past three matches at Roland Garros 2022.

"So with that conditions, I was not able to push him back. His coach, Carlos Moya, was spotted enjoying the open air as he scouted Nadal's potential final opponents. "My ball was not bouncing as usual here, no?" "He started the match playing amazing, honestly. Have been a lot of up-and-downs during the match, but a good level of tennis with great points.

With a win in Sunday's French Open final, Rafael Nadal will claim his 22nd Grand Slam singles title. Here's a look at some of the other significant numbers ...

21: The number of Grand Slam singles titles Nadal has won entering Sunday’s final, putting him one ahead of Roger Federer and Djokovic for the men’s record. 24: The number of matches Nadal has won over Federer in his career, against 16 losses. 209: The number of weeks Nadal has spent as the ATP Tour’s top-ranked singles player, the sixth-best figure ever. 0: The number of times Nadal has lost in a French Open final. 7: The number of events Nadal has played in 2022, already matching his totals from 2020 and 2021. 13: Nadal’s number of singles titles at the French Open heading into Sunday, a men’s record for an individual Grand Slam tournament. Combined with his prize money, that made him the world’s fifth-highest-paid tennis player last year. 8: The number of times Nadal has played on his birthday at Roland Garros, including Friday, when he turned 36. $1.05 million: The retail price for Nadal’s signature watch with Richard Mille when it was first introduced in 2020. $23 million: Nadal’s annual earnings off the court from endorsements, appearances, memorabilia and licensing fees, according to Forbes estimates. That makes Nadal the heavy favorite. It might have been a surprise, then, that it was his opponent—third-seeded Alexander Zverev—who retired from the match with an injury, and that Nadal emerged with a victory.

A trainer came out to attend to him, and Nadal walked around the net to check on Zverev, too. "The conditions were not the ideal for me this afternoon - or the way that I like to play, normally, here," Nadal said. "The only thing that I am sure is he is going to win not one - much more than one. Later, an errant backhand let Nadal break for the first time, making it 4-all and sending red-and-yellow Spanish flags flapping in the stands. The oldest champion so far was Andres Gimeno, who was 34 in 1972. "I guess this is perfect timing and worth the wait to finally play him in a Grand Slam final." The crowd gave him a standing ovation. The second set also was headed to a tiebreaker after another 1 1/2 hours when Zverev tumbled behind the baseline and lost a point that allowed Nadal to hold serve for 6-all. His black outfit, arms and legs caked with rust-colored clay, Zverev was helped up by a trainer, then taken away from the court in a wheelchair. Zverev crumpled to the ground, wailing in agony and clutching at his lower leg. "He was very unlucky," Nadal said. Now he will try to become the oldest champion at a tournament he's already won a record 13 times, facing first-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud on Sunday.

A tactical analysis ahead of the men's singles final at Roland-Garros 2022.

When the points go past eight shots, he’s still good, winning 112 and losing 90, at 55 per cent. As you would expect for someone who’s in the final, Ruud also comes out on top in the three categories. For a start, that’s where the majority of points are won and lost anyway, even on clay.

Injury-ravaged Spaniard has fought hard to reach final at Roland Garros and will be a tough foe for Norway's Casper Ruud.

In recent years, as men’s tennis has looked for players to follow Nadal and his rivals, many of Ruud’s peers have received so much more hype than him. Nadal’s fighting spirit, his composure under pressure and his ability to elevate his level in tight situations have been the bedrock of his game but it is astonishing he is able to achieve this time and time again. He will not only have to emotionally adapt to playing in a grand slam final for the first time but to also staring down the legend across the net. Not for Nadal. Here he is chasing a record-extending 22nd grand slam title, another significant moment in tennis history. In his quarter-final against Novak Djokovic, the stakes were so high that every second of the match was important. In his fourth-round match against Felix Auger Aliassime he did not look like himself as they went to a tense fifth set.

Rafael Nadal and Casper Ruud may be facing off for the first time in Sunday's championship match at Roland Garros, but that doesn't mean the pair don't know ...

The Ruud forehand in particular has developed into one of the most fearsome weapons on Tour, and the Norwegian will need it to fire if he wants to make a dent in the Nadal defence. A successful outcome for Nadal would also represent the first time he has completed the Australian Open- Roland Garros double in a calendar year. Although Ruud’s longest match of the tournament was his opening three-hour, 49-minute win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the Norwegian has spent 18 hours and two minutes on court in Paris, just six minutes fewer than Nadal overall. Ruud’s strong displays on clay have brought him seven tour-level titles on clay, but he is yet to lift a trophy above ATP 250 level. Should he win, Nadal will draw level with current Tour leader Carlos Alcaraz’s four titles for 2022, having clinched trophies in Melbourne and Acapulco alongside his Australian Open triumph. [It’s] not a big surprise at all." To finally play him in a Grand Slam final will be a special moment for me. "Physically I'm OK," said Nadal in his press conference following the Zverev match. So, it is going to be a fun one hopefully.” "Normally my problem is not the physical performance…Of course today the conditions have been very hot, super humid. Hopefully a little bit for him as well. “But more than [anything], as I always say, I like to see [a] good person achieving his dreams.

Rafael Nadal will be trying to win his 14th French Open championship and 22nd Grand Slam title overall when he faces Christian Ruud in the men's singles ...

I will, of course, give it a shot at the title, and would be nicer to be able to brag about the title, as well, after my career.” I played, I (fought), I did all the things possible to give myself at least a chance to be where I am,” said Nadal, who brought his personal doctor with him to Paris, “and happy, of course, to be able to give myself another chance to play on the (last) Sunday here.” “I will need to play my best tennis ever,” said Ruud, who never had been past the fourth round of a major until this week. If Nadal has plenty of past success and “been there, done that” in his favor going into the final, Ruud does have youth on his side. “I like to play in the best stadiums of the world and feel myself, at my age, still competitive. “I was not very positive after that about my foot, but I was positive that I will be able to play here.
