Since 2005, Rafael Nadal has enjoyed an almost uninterrupted reign as the King of Clay.

But last year, Djokovic stunned him on Philippe Chatrier to win 3-6, 6-3, 7-6, 6-2 in the semi-final before going on to win his second Roland Garros title.

This year, the pair meet in the quarter-final, due to Nadal dropping to fifth in the world rankings.

So far, Djokovic has had a clear run through to the quarter-final, having not yet dropped a set.

Nadal had been flawless in the first three rounds but was pushed all the way in round four as he earned a five-set win over Felix Auger-Aliassime.
