French Open 2020 Rafael Nadal vs Jannik Sinner preview

There will be records at stake for just about every player at the French Open 2020 quarter-finals. Italian Jannik Sinner is in the form of his life, becoming the first player since his opponent tomorrow to reach the quarter-finals of the French Open on his very first try. Sinner upset German 11th seed David Goffin in straight sets in round one, winning 7-5, 6-0, 6-3. He breezed past the unseeded Benjamin Bonzi and Federico Coria in similar fashion. 

Sinner faced his biggest challenge at the French Open 2020 in his round-four meeting wth US Open 2020 runner-up and 6th seed Alexander Zverev. Sinner won the first two sets against an unfit looking Zverev but went on to lose the third set - the first set he has dropped at the French Open 2020.

Sinner made a quick recovery, beating Zverev 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to make it to his first-ever Grand Slam quarter-final. Ranked 75th, Sinner has been playing at a level far above this number and will hope to go as far as he can.

In stark opposition is his opponent for tonight, Rafael Nadal. The World No. 2 has blazed past each of his competitors at the French Open 2020. Even though Nadal has not looked to be in his best form, he is yet to drop a set and has only been broken twice.

It may be too early to judge his form, considering he hasn't faced anyone ranked in the top 50, but history will be on the side of the 12-time French Open winner. Nadal is on course to equal Roger Federer's record of 20 Men's Grand Slam singles titles. Standing in his way are possible meetings with Dominic Thiem/Diego Schwartzman and possibly Novak Djokovic in the final.
