PHOTOS: Rafael Nadal beats Roger Federer to reach 12th Roland Garros final
Rafael Nadal has reached the French Open final for the 12th time in his career after a straight-sets victory over Roger Federer. He won 6-3, 6-4, 6-2.
The King of Clay has never lost in 22 appearances in the semi-finals and beyond at Roland Garros and is chasing a remarkable 12th title in Paris.
After the match, Rafa said:
It was difficult to play in the wind. But I am back in the final of the tournament which is most important to me. It is very beautiful for me to play another final here. It is always a tough match against Roger and we had tough conditions today. Roland Garros is the most important tournament to me.
It is incredible to play Roger here. Congratulations to him – it is incredible he is playing at this level at 37. He is probably the best player in history – it was a pleasure to play against him today.
He will face either Dominic Thiem or Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s final.
More to come…

Congratulations RAFA! You again showed your supremacy at RG by beating the great FedEx 6-0.Now nobody should have questions that you are th GOAT at least on Clay court All the best for Sunday’s final I am sure you will get 12 th RG
So,so happy Rafa won What a talent. Afraid I deafened my family with my yelling every time he won a point. They are now threatening to watch it somewhere else on Sunday. LOL. Don’t care as long as Rafa lifts that 12 th trophy. GO RAFA GO.
Today we all had the opportunity to watch Rafa play at a level that was far beyond anything we have seen in the longest of time… At this tournament he has gotten better and better and today he played lights out tennis. He made shots that were so incredible that you couldn’t help but say Wow…Wow…Wow….over and over again. And even with the adverse conditions he adjusted and stayed laser focused and Roger in truth never stood a chance. And yes…Roger is going home thinking that Rafa is the greatest player of the clay court.
I am so happy for Rafa and his team who prepared him perfectly for this match .
Sunday… No one will beat him… He will raise the trophy once again #12.

There are way too many fake names here and as a RAFA Fan who takes time to comment this is a shame that you are not posting what Fan love wrote today post the semi.

Rafa thank you for silencing all who were against you saying Fed would win but little did they know you weren’t daunted by there noise congrats Rafa you reaching your 12th final.
I’ve been trying to have no expectations this week as I’ve been worried that Rafa may be injured and beating both Fed and Djokovic seems close to impossible. But then I look at Rafa today… my hope is back.
Poor old Fed, has to play with a force 10 gale, sandstorms and TsunamiDal – it’s still no excuse for hitting a ball into the crowd. Rafa is such a classy human being,. Seeing him applauding Fed at the end of the match made me cry, so happy for Rafa and proud to be his fan.
I took the day off work to watch this – was afraid of jinxing Rafa, but he was magnificent! Vamos!!
Congratulations, Rafael Nadal😄a remarkable win-so happy for you. Rest and recover. We know how much this means to you. Terrible conditions, but you were the master💪🤛👍👏🍀❤️
Well done Rafa! It was a shame about the gale, but the conditions were the same for both players, and Rafa coped with them and Roger didn’t. I’m already stressed about Sunday. Hope Dominic beats Nole 100-98 in the 5th set!!
Congrats Rafa! 👑. Hoping djoker and Theim tire each other to max. Don’t care at this stage whoever reaches the final. Our Rafa is on fire. He is in that zone. Bring it on . Vamos 💪💪💪
