Dave Driver and Sky Sports commentator Nick Lester chew the fat ahead of the men’s US Open final.

Novak Djokovic has only lost one completed match all year - Federer beat him at the French Open - and he arrives here having beaten his adversary Rafael Nadal in their last five meetings.

However, Rafael Nadal’s form has improved throughout the tournament and he was superb against Andy Murray in the quarter-final.

Nick Lester got both semi-finals spot-on, predicting a Djokovic 3-2 victory and a Nadal 3-1 win against Andy Murray.  Can he repeat the trick in the final?

Enjoy.

For the first time in roughly six years Rafael Nadal, the World No.1 and five-time defending champion, is not the outright betting fave in tennis betting markets. Sportsbooks, across all platforms, seem to think that Novak Djokovic – the indisputable real time No.1 player this season – is the one to beat and the one most likely to win the 2011 French Open.

The Men’s French Open (or Tournoi de Roland-Garros, as the locals call it) is without doubt the highlight of the clay-court season, and the super-stars of tennis are out in force for the 110^th edition of the prestigious grand slam.

Since his Davis Cup victory earlier in the year, Novak Djokovic (11/8) has looked a new man - a force to be reckoned with - and as such, Rafael Nadal’s (11/10) reign as owner of the Roland Garros could be coming to an end.

Nadal is still favourite to defend his title, but Djokovic is right there with him, pushing Roger Federer (12/1) and Andy Murray out to a massive 14/1 to steal the spoils in France.

Djokovic has the opportunity to become the world number one in the coming weeks and if the Serb was to take the title, he would break the record for the longest winning streak on all surfaces.

Will Novak Djokovic continue his fantastic winning run in France and topple Rafael Nadal?

Running from 23 May until 5 June, the fortnight promises to be an exciting feast of fast and furious tennis, and you can follow your favourite player using the draw below.

Novak Djokovic showed tremendous courage in his semi-final against Roger Federer, dispatching the Swiss in five sets to reach the men’s US Open Final.  His reward is a Sunday evening meeting with Rafael Nadal.

Can Djokovic hold his form against the Pearl Of Manacor or will fatigue set in?  Sky Sports’ Nick Lester analyses the final for William Hill Radio.
