History will be made at French Open on Sunday

Every year, I wake up at 6 a.m. to watch the French Open men’s final and hope I get to see the entire match before it’s time to take off to see the Pride parade in West Hollywood.

This year, I have a feeling I’ll have to miss some of one or the other because I have doubt this one is going to be an epic: Rafael Nadal vs. Novak Djokovic.

Whoever wins, history will be made.

Djokovic is one victory from becoming the first man in 43 years to win four consecutive major championships while Nadal is one victory from becoming the only man to win seven titles at Roland Garros.

No pressure!

By reaching the final, they have already made history by becoming the first two men to ever face each other in the championship match in four consecutive grand slam championships.

Djokovic beat Nadal at Wimbledon and the US Open last year then at the Australian Open in January.

These are two men who have huge hearts and fight like true warriors. So this is a really big occasion!

”I have this golden opportunity to make history. This motivates me. It really inspires me. I’m really grateful to be in this position, obviously,” said the 25-year-old Djokovic, who owns five Grand Slam titles to Nadal’s 10. ”And look, I’ll try to prepare for that match and get my hands on that trophy, if I can.”

“There’s a lot on the line. It always is, when you’re playing finals of a Grand Slam,” Djokovic added. ”Considering the matches that we played against each other in last 15 months, we expect another emotional match, another big challenge for both of us, fighting for one of the four biggest titles in our sport.”
