Tonight's final (5.30pm start) is between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal and something's got to give.
Going into tonight, Nadal has won 36 straight matches on clay (1 of which was a walkover) and that run goes back almost two years since he was knocked out of the 2009 French Open.
Djokovic, meanwhile, has been in immense form in 2011, winning 32 consecutive matches since the start of this year (1 of which was a walkover).
It should be a fantastic match and although Nadal will probably be the slight favourite, given that it's on clay, my money would be on Djokovic extending this winning run.
