Tennis: Defending champion Rafael Nadal set up potentially the greatest final in French Open history when he defeated Croatian fourth seed Ivan Ljubicic 6-4 6-2 7-6 on Friday.
The Spaniard second seed will defend his crown against world number one Roger Federer on Sunday. It will be the first time since 1984 that a Roland Garros final will feature the top two seeds.
Nadal extended his perfect Roland Garros record to 13-0 and stretched his winning streak on clay to 59 matches.
Earlier on Friday, Federer reached his first Roland Garros final after Argentine David Nalbandian pulled out with stomach problems while trailing 3-6 6-4 5-2.
Nadal broke twice in each of the first two sets to sit on a comfortable cushion but was challenged in the third, being forced to a tiebreak he won 9-7 on his third match point after two hours and 49 minutes.
