The French Open final of men's singles event that is scheduled for Sunday tomorrow is going to be an all Spanish final as both finalists are from Spain. It will be the first all-Spanish final since 2002 when Albert Costa defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Rafael Nadal, the defending champion and world no.4 is eyeing the title for the record eighth time - and he clinched a slot in the final after a tough five set match from world no.1 Novak Djokovic Friday yesterday. It will be Rafa's 17th Grand Slam final on Sunday.

In the second semi final, Spaniard David Ferrer defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 to take his place across the net against fellow countryman Rafa.


Nadal leads Ferrer in head-to-heads by 19-4, since the both Spaniards met in 2004 at Stuttgart quarters. They last met in the quarters of Rome this year, when Nadal beat Ferrer 6-4 4-6 6-2. In fact Nadal has won over Ferrer insix consecutive matches recently, all on clay.

We wait for Sunday tomorrow for the all Spanish finale at Paris.
