• In the 30 years since Yannick Noah won the 1983 French Open, French men who reach at least the quarterfinals are a combined 8-15 including Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's losss to David Ferrer on Friday.
• This season is the first year since 2005 that neither the No. 1 or 2 seed has played in the French Open final.
• In 59 career matches at the French Open, Rafael Nadal has only been taken to five sets twice. He is 2-0 in those matches.
• David Ferrer is the first Spaniard besides Rafael Nadal to make the French Open final since Juan Carlos Ferrero in 2003.
• This is the fourth time in French Open history that two Spaniards have faced off against each other in the final.
• It took David Ferrer 780 career matches to reach his first Grand Slam final.
• Rafael Nadal's .983 winning percentage at Roland Garros would be the equivalent of an NBA or NHL team going 80-2 over a season, or a Major League baseball team going 159-3. 
• Nadal is 19-4 all-time against Ferrer, with eight straight victories. On clay, he is 16-1, the one loss coming in the two men's first-ever match in 2004, when Nadal was 18 years old.
• Nadal's win on Thursday was the 15th time he has beaten the No. 1 player in the world, and the third time he has beaten Novak Djokovic when Djokovic was No. 1.
