By late Sunday, Nadal will have hoisted his record seventh Roland Garros championship trophy. Or Djokovic will have won his fourth consecutive major title.

Either way, an age as golden as any in men’s tennis will continue to unfold. Same as it did Friday, when Nadal toyed with a hapless David Ferrer and Djokovic devoured a shaky but game Roger Federer, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. If the tournament itself had unfolded in unexpected ways, the two left standing surprised no one, least of all themselves.

Few here dared to pick against Nadal, including Federer, who said: “I’m sure it’s going to be a good match. I obviously pick Rafa. I think he’s the overwhelming favorite.”
