At 7:00am ET, the men’s semifinals of the 2013 French Open pits (1) Novak Djokovic against all-time great (3) Rafael Nadal. The winner goes on to face the winner of (4) David Ferrer vs. hometown hero (6) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in what could be the first Frenchman to make it to the finals in 25 years.

The early match up featuring Rafael Nadal will be covered by the Tennis Channel while NBC will be picking up the second. I you can’t watch the French Open live on television, you can live stream Djokovic vs Nadal live online right here. Though not entering the match as the favorite, an unusual position for Nadal who many consider one of the best ever, his name will be the big draw for many spectators.  Nicknamed “The King of Clay” because of his dominance on the court, the French Open happens to be played on clay. This could bode well for Nadal and propel him to an upset victory and spot in the finals.

Nadal’s opponent Novak Djokovic won’t go quietly into the night though. Currently ranked number 1 in the world, Djokovic became the sixth male player in the Open Era to win three Grand Slams in a calendar year by winning three Grand Slam titles in 2011. He also won the ATP World Tour Player of the Year twice consecutively, in 2011 and 2012.

The second match, which will begin at the anticipated start time of 11am ET, features  Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who could be the first from France to make a finals appearance in a quarter century. He is one of the few active players on tour to have reached the quarterfinal stage of all four Grand Slams.

Yesterday morning, in the women’s singles, big-namers Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams both bested their opponents and will meet for a heads-up match on Saturday. Williams ranked number 1 and is the heavy favorite, though both are seasoned vets and will leave it all on the clay. Sharapova, the defending champion, overcame 11 double-faults to win a semifinal shriekfest against Victoria Azarenka, 6-1, 2-6, 6-4, according to ESPN. In a more dominant fashion, Williams ousted Sara Errani 6-0, 6-1 in a quick 46-minute session to advance.
