The protagonists of the semifinal have only coincided this year in a draw before Roland Garros. Both have dropped just one set on the way to the penultimate round.
Djokovic hasn't lost at a major since falling to Nadal in the quarterfinals of this same tournament in 2022. He has 19 consecutive victories, those of his titles in Wimbledon and Australia, in addition to the previous five in this edition of the tournament. It will be his twelfth semi-final in Paris, forty-fifth in a tournament of this category.
