    Novak Djokovic is backing himself to become the first player to beat Rafael Nadal twice at Roland Garros in tonight's semi finals


    The duo meet for the 58th time in the careers with Djokovic leading 29-28.

    The 13 times French Open champion has lost just twice in 107 matches in Paris, to Robin Soderling in 2009 and Djokovic in 2016.



    Stefanos Tsitsipas and Sascha Zverev meet in the other semi final.
