The king of Roland-Garros, Rafael Nadal, thirteen times titled in Paris, will find world No.1 Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals on Tuesday after his snatch victory Sunday against the Canadian FĂ©lix Auger-Aliassime, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 after four and a half hours of exchanges in an incandescent Central court.
Defending champion and winner of Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals last year, the Serb is in pursuit of the Majorcan in the hunt for the Grand Slam title record that the two monsters are engaged in (20 against 21).
