The red earth of Roland Garros was always going to favour Nadal, but so did the air – which was whistling around at such speed that it whipped the clay up into a virtual sandstorm. Those around the court were well advised to keep their cameras and phones in their pockets, lest grit get into the machines.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dynamicMpu section"> <div id="advert_tmg_dyn_2" class="js-advert advert " data-adtype="dyn_2"></div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="article-body-text component "> <div class="component-content"> <p><span class="m_first-letter m_first-letter--flagged">A</span>t least the water held off for this match, even if there was drizzle beforehand. As for the fire, Nadal brought such intensity that Federer admitted he had found himself marvelling at his opponent’s level as the match progressed.</p> <p>“There is nobody who even plays remotely close to him,” said Federer. “I don't even know who I need to go search for to go practice with. I was thinking that during the match. It's just amazing how he plays from deep and then is able to bounce back and forth from the baseline.”</p> <p>Nadal was certainly in his element, for he grew up on the blustery island of Mallorca and is arguably the greatest wind player the game has ever seen. Controlling the ball magnificently with his heavy topspin, he moved into his 12<sup>th</sup> French Open final, and extended a stunning statistic. In 23 finals and semi-finals at Roland Garros, he has yet to be defeated.</p> <p>Should Nadal beat Djokovic or Thiem on Sunday, moreover, he will have won twice as many titles here as Bjorn Borg, the man who stands second on the list. Whatever happens in the other semi-final, the king of clay will start as favourite to retain his crown.</p> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="listOfTags section"> <aside class="list-of-tags
