By: Matt Brown | Latest Tennis News | Sunday June 10 2012 17:38

 

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic both chase places in tennis history in tonight's men's singles final at the French Open.

Nadal is trying to become the first man to win seven Roland Garros titles, while Djokovic is endeavouring to become the first player since 1969 to hold all four majors.

Nadal doesn't feel any pressure to beat Bjorn Borg's record.

He says he has the pressure is the same every year and he always plays to win.

Djokovic says he will have to be at his best if he's a chance to complete his grand slam.

He says he has to play at a consistently high level to beat Nadal over five sets.

Rain is forecast for Paris ahead of the final.
