On Sunday, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 2 Rafael Nadal will each look to etch themselves into tennis history when they battle it out for the Roland Garros title.

Djokovic is aiming to become just the second men’s player in the Open Era to win four consecutive Grand Slam titles, while Nadal is bidding to break Bjorn Borg’s Open Era record of six titles on the red clay in Paris. They are meeting for the fourth straight major final, with Djokovic winning all three of the previous clashes.

The two have advanced to the final in completely different fashion. Djokovic has won two five-set encounters, having overcome a two-set deficit to Andreas Seppi in the fourth round and saving four match points against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-finals. He’s been broken 16 times and has expended 16 hours and 34 minutes on the court.

In contrast, Nadal has been lights out on serve, broken just once in his opening-round match against Simone Bolelli. Through six matches, the Spaniard has only dropped 35 games, taking just 12 hours and 22 minutes to reach the title match for the seventh time.
