French Open 2022 final, Rafael Nadal vs Casper Ruud: Where to watch, TV Schedule, Live stream details, and more

World No. 5 Rafael Nadal and World No. 8 Casper Ruud are getting ready for their first-ever meeting, with the pair set to lock horns in the 2022 French Open final on Sunday.

Pre-tournament favourites Stefanos Tsitsipas, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz all fell by the quarterfinals, while 13-time French Open champion Nadal’s injury struggles and modest pre-tournament clay court performances meant that the Spaniard, for once, did not arrive in Paris as the outright favourite.

In the first semifinal on Friday, Nadal went up against World No. 3 Alexander Zverev. The match, which lasted more than three hours, came to a premature end, with the 36-year-old leading 7-6(8), 6-6, after Zverev picked up an injury and was forced to retire. It is a record-extending 14th Roland Garros final for the Mallorcan.

The second semifinal saw Casper Ruud return from a set down against Croatian Marin Cilic to win 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. It's a maiden Grand Slam final for the Norwegian, who will be looking to become the first player to beat Nadal in a French Open final.

Ruud's biggest strength is his serve, something that Nadal has struggled with throughout the tournament. The 21-time Grand Slam champion, however, has the experience of 29 Slam finals to call up on, which gives him an upper hand going into the match.
