Novak Djokovic will face Rafael Nadal for the 56th time in the final of the French Open on Sunday after withstanding a spirited Stefanos Tsitsipas fightback.

Djokovic looked to be easing to a relatively-straightforward victory when he served for the match at 5-4 in the third set only for Tsitsipas to save a match point and turn the contest completely around.
