Preview
So far, Murray is looking like he can make good on the claim recently offered by John McEnroe that this is the Scot's best chance to win the French Open, per Paul Vinnell of Sky Sports.
Reaching this final isn't just a personal milestone for Murray, though. It's also a moment of British history, according to the Roland Garros Twitter account:
Murray now even shares an achievement with the great players of his era, per ATP Media Info:
The Scot delivered when it counted against defending champion Wawrinka. He strolled to victory in the first two sets before seeing Stanimal battle back to claim the third.
Yet a well-timed hold of serve set up Murray in the fourth, before a break gave him the chance to serve for the win. It was a chance he gratefully took.
But Murray isn't the only player who will be chasing history on the red clay at Roland Garros. Djokovic, in the form of his life, is one win shy of a very rare achievement:
Speaking of history, the overall record of this rivalry favours Djokovic, even if Murray enjoyed the most recent advantage, according to ESPNTennis:
"Djokovic is 23-10 vs. Murray, including a 3-1 edge on clay. Murray won last meeting, which was on clay, in Rome final.

Djokovic hasn't always enjoyed himself on the showpiece day at Roland Garros. Yet the way he's playing now, the Serb looks unstoppable, even for a buoyant Murray.
Expect Djokovic to finally end his hoodoo on the French Open red clay and deny Murray further history.
