French Open 2018 has had several matches interrupted by rain.
The city of Paris is set to witness history as Tennis ace Rafael Nadal is aiming to win his 11th Rolland Garros title when he faces off with fourth-seeded Dominic Thiem of Austria, who is looking forward to claim his first.
However the weather may affect their highly-anticipated showdown.
French Open 2018 has had several matches interrupted by rain throughout the past two weeks, including Nadal’s quarter-final win over Diego Schwartzman.
And there is the possibility for the weather to halt play on Sunday, too.
According to Daily Express, the Met Office say that there is a 70 percent chance of rain by 4 pm (7:30 pm in India) and the showers may remain till 9 pm (00:30 am in IST).
However the match started without any problems as Nadal made a brilliant start winning six points in row and breaking Thiem's first service game to take a 2-0 lead. Thiem returned to break Nadal's serve in the very next game.
Nadal on Friday outclassed Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro to storm into his record 11th final of the French Open with a 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 win in the men's semi-final clash.
If Nadal wins the 2018 French Open, he will be the first ever player to win 11 titles of three different tournaments.
World No. 8 Dominic Thiem reached his first Grand Slam final to face the ace by defeating 72nd seeded Italian Marco Cecchinato in three sets- 7-5, 7-6 (10), 6-1.
It is also Thiem's third consecutive appearance in the final of this respective tournament. In the 2016 and 2017 editions, he lost to eventual Serbia's Novak Djokovic and Nadal.
Earlier, Czech sixth seeds Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova won the women's doubles final on Sunday, beating Japan's Eri Hozumi and Makoto Ninomiya 6-3 6-3 to claim their first grand slam title.
