Djokovic, looking to win his 21st Grand Slam title and catch up to Nadal’s tally of Majors, has been in scintillating form at this year’s French Open.
The Serb dispatched Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka, Slovakia’s Alex Molcan, Slovenia’s Aljaz Bedene and Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman, all in straight sets, in the first four rounds to make it to the quarters.
Rafael Nadal, meanwhile, had to exert a little more effort to make it to the top eight.
After beating Australia’s Jordan Thompson, France’s Corentin Moutet and Dutch player Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets in his first three matches, the Spaniard had to dig deep to survive a four hour and 22-minute marathon against Canadian ninth seed Felix Auger Aliassime.
Nadal eventually won the five-setter 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to set up the quarter-final clash against arch-rival Djokovic.
“A huge challenge and probably the biggest one that you can have here in Roland Garros,” Novak Djokovic said about the match after his fourth-round win.

This will be the 59th meeting between the two tennis icons. Novak Djokovic leads the head-to-head record against Nadal by a 30-28 margin currently.
