The 2012 French Open has rewarded tennis fans everywhere by bringing together two of the most dominate and recognizable tennis players for the final round of the men's bracket. 

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will face off on Sunday June 9 at 9:05 AM (EST), and the winner will take home the Musketeers' Cup.

The 26-year-old Nadal has 10 grand slam wins compared to the 25-year-old Djokovic's five. So when looking at that fact alone, it appears that Nadal is the more accomplished of the two.

If Nadal can come away with a victory, it will put an end to Djokovic's recent surge of success and allow him to possibly reclaim his place as the No.1 ranked player in the world.
