Nadal, Ruud into French Open final

PARIS: Rafael Nadal reached his 14th French Open final on Friday (Saturday in Manila) when Alexander Zverev was forced to quit their last-four clash after suffering a sickening right ankle injury on a day of drama at Roland Garros.

Nadal will play in his 30th Grand Slam final when he tackles Casper Ruud, the first Norwegian man to make a championship match at the majors.
