Novak Djokovic stopped Rafael Nadal’s bid for a 14th French Open title and handed the King of Clay just his third loss in 108 matches at the tournament by coming back to win their thriller of a semi-final 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2 on Friday night. Terrific as the play was for most of the four hours, the match ended with a bit of a whimper: Djokovic grabbed the last six games. So Djokovic will be seeking his second trophy at Roland Garros and a 19th major championship overall when he plays in Sunday’s final. Here’s how Twitter reacted to Djokovic’s win: Everyone raved about Djokovic’s incredible performance
