The top four seeds in the division have made it to the semi-finals and fans will be looking forward to getting their money\u2019s worth at Roland Garros<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have been fierce rivals over the years but remain friends because they know that they bring out the best in each other. The two greats have played each other 38 times over the years and have immense respect for each other\u2019s game. Nadal is seeded 2 and Federer is seeded 3 at Roland Garros but there is no doubt that Rafael Nadal is the overwhelming favourite since they are playing on clay \u2013 his favourite surface.<\/p>\n

The last 5 times the two have met, Federer has won all 5 encounters but none of those have been on clay. Nadal has dominated Roland Garros throughout his career and has played Federer on clay 15 times and has won on 13 occasions<\/em>. Clay courts have proven to be a challenge to Federer who has 20 Grand Slams to his name<\/strong> with only one French Open championship.<\/p>\n
