What Happened Friday

• The streak is over. Novak Djokovic’s 43-match winning streak is no more thanks to Roger Federer, who summoned one of his finest performances in a 7-6(5), 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(5) victory. He advances to Sunday’s French Open men’s final (9 a.m. ET, NBC), where he go head-to-head with a familiar foe …

• Nadal back in French final. Rafael Nadal, who turned 25 today, dispensed of Andy Murray in straight sets to improve to 44-1 lifetime at Roland Garros. He’ll try for his record-tying sixth French Open title on Sunday.

• Garcia falls in girls’ singles. Remember Caroline Garcia, the 17-year-old who nearly took out Maria Sharapova (and who’s already been tabbed for superstardom by Andy Murray)? She lost 6-2, 1-6, 6-2 in today’s girls’ singles semifinals to Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur.

• American advances to boys’ final. Who says Americans can’t cut it on clay? The last Yank standing at Roland Garros is Bjorn Frantangelo, a 17-year-old originally from Plum, Pa., who won 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 over France’s Tristan Lamasine to advance to Sunday’s boys’ singles final.
