These two have met a whopping 33 times - it's a wonder they can stand the sight of each other across the net! Djokovic leads overall 23-10.

The Serb also leads 4-1 on the clay and 7-2 at Grand Slams. And he's won 12 of their last 14 meetings. Gulp.

Is there any good news for Murray? Well, yes actually. The Scot has the bragging rights from their most recent match, a clay-court final in Rome last month which he won 6-3 6-3. That could be massive.

Raymond Eady: I picked Muguruza to beat Williams in the French Open tennis yesterday so reinvesting profit into Murray over Djokovic today 

Mike Child: Murray bt Djokovic on clay 4 weeks ago. He stayed cool and collected throughout. That's the approach he needs today

Calling all tennis fans: we need your thoughts. Can Murray upset the odds, or will Djokovic prove too strong? 

If the Serb does prevail, does he enter the Greatest Of All Time conversation? And if Murray wins, would this be his greatest achievement?

"Novak Djokovic is the favourite. But I feel differently about this final than I did about the Australian Open final at the start of the year. The way Andy Murray is playing, and the belief he has in his clay-court game, really make you believe he could do it."

Hello and welcome to live text and radio commentary of the men's French Open final between Novak Djokovic and Great Britain's Andy Murray.

It's Murray's first ever appearance in a Roland Garros final, and the first by any British man since Bunny Austin lost to Henner Henkel in 1937. 

The players should be knocking up in around an hour's time...

In May 1987, in maternity wards in Glasgow and Belgrade, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic were born just seven days apart.

They met as prodigious tennis teenagers and even struck up a friendship.

Now, as two of the finest players of their generation, they stand on the threshold of history, and a first French Open title that would rubber-stamp their greatness. But to get there, they'll have to push the other bloke out of the way...
