Djokovic vs Ruud preview

When it was confirmed that Rafael Nadal would miss the French Open, players around the world must have breathed a sigh of relief, and perhaps none more so than Novak Djokovic. The Serbian has lost to the Spaniard three times in the final at Roland-Garros and entered the tournament in Paris tied with Nadal on 22 Grand Slams. Now, having reached the final for a sixth time, the 36-year-old has the chance to eclipse his two greatest rivals and become the first man in history to win each Grand Slam at least three times. 

Standing in his way is a player who has become a master on the red clay. Casper Ruud has won nine of his 10 ATP Tour titles on the surface and has looked back to his sensational best in reaching a second successive French Open final. The Norwegian lost out to Nadal one year ago but produced a scintillating display in the semi-finals as he dismantled Alexander Zverev in three sets. 

Ruud is aiming to become the first Norwegian male to win a Grand Slam tournament and will have to use all his skill and guile to overcome an in-form and determined Djokovic. The Serb holds a 4-0 record against the 24-year-old, has twice beaten him on clay and has never even dropped a set. However, the two have never met in a Slam and with history on the line for both players, expect an absolute thriller on Court Philippe-Chatrier. 

Here's how to get a Djokovic vs Ruud live stream and watch today's French Open final from wherever you are.
