Both Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will be seeking to clinch a maiden French Open title on Sunday, as they meet in what should be a gripping final at Roland Garros in Paris.

Djokovic has never got his hands on the Coupe des Mousquetaires previously, despite having dominated the men’s game for the last couple of years and winning 11 Grand Slam titles in his career. Murray will be playing in the final at this venue for the first time, having only won two of his nine major finals previously.

These two players typically put on spectacular matches, as not only are they the two most gifted players in the game but the two fittest as well. Here is a closer look at the key details on the cusp of this final and an examination of how this one is set to pan out.



 

History Beckons for Djokovic and Murray

Although few would dispute the genial abilities of Djokovic, a win here on this surface against a player such as Murray would thrust him into the reckoning of being one of the finest players of all time.

The Serb has won all of the other three Grand Slams on multiple occasions and dominated the world rankings. But a Roland Garros success has eluded him, with a surprise loss in the final last year against Stanislas Wawrinka. As noted by Ben Rothenberg of the New York Times, he’ll face another familiar foe here:



Murray has never looked better on clay than he has in the second week of this tournament. There were some extremely precarious moments early in the draw, as he came from two sets behind to win his opening match and then 2-1 down in Round 2. But he’s now found his groove in spectacular fashion.

"Reaching the French Open final is definitely not something I thought I'd do," the man himself conceded, per BBC Sport. "Last year I started to have the belief that I could do it. It's great credit to my team to get my body healthy."
