David Ferrer reached his first grand slam final at the age of 31 when he beat the last Frenchman Jo Wilford Tsonga 6-1 7-6(3) 6-2 to set up an all-Spanish French Open final with defending champion and seven-times winner Rafa Nadal.
Ferrer who is yet to drop a set in the tournament, was playing his sixth grand slam semis (second at Roland Garros after 2012) and was determined this time to make it to the finals after five past disappointment, and indeed he did thrashing the Frenchman in straight sets.
Nadal has a 19-4 record against Ferrer and had won their last 16 meetings on clay, so the underdog Spaniard must keep his momentum in the final and forget about these numbers.
