Spanish tennis ace Rafael Nadal is a clear favourite to win his 14th French Open title on Sunday, according to former India Davis Cupper Somdev Devvarman.

A young Casper Ruud had a dominant four-set win over the more experienced Marin Cilic in the second semi-final on Friday, but according to Devvarman, that result won`t have any bearing on the summit clash. "Rafa is left-handed, his return position is different, his serve is different, so this match will be totally different for Ruud when compared to the one against Cilic. Of course, he will have the confidence that he can take down a big-hitter like Cilic, but against Rafa it`s a totally different ball game," Devvarman said in response to a question by mid-day.com during a virtual media interaction organised by Sony Sports.
