2020 French Open – Men's singles final
The 2020 French Open Men's Singles final was the championship tennis match of the men's singles tournament at the 2020 French Open, with Rafael Nadal defeating Novak Djokovic 6–0, 6–2, 7–5. It was a Grand Slam final match of historic proportions for both players. Nadal was aiming to become the first man to win a thirteenth French Open title, extending the record he himself held. Furthermore, Nadal was aiming to tie Roger Federer's all-time record of twenty Grand Slam men's singles titles. Djokovic was aiming to become the first man in the Open Era and first since Rod Laver in the 1960s to win all of the Grand Slam events at least twice. Additionally, Nadal was aiming to become the first player to defeat Djokovic in a completed match in the 2020 season since Djokovic had remained unbeaten up until that point, save for his disqualification at the US Open.
