Many people will be billing this as the final, and while that is unfair on Kevin Anderson and Pablo Carreno Busta, the victor of this tantalising match-up will certainly be favourite going into Sunday's showpiece.

Highlights: Juan Martin Del Potro stuns Roger Federer in four sets

Dep Potro will look to carry on the momentum that has saw him end Roger Federer's dream of a 20th Grans Slam title in the quarters, while Nadal comes into this clash fresh from a brief 97-minute encounter against Andrey Rublev.

The head-to-head reads as Nadal 8-5 Del Potro, with the Argentine winning their two most recent meetings on hard court - the last of those coming at Rio 2016 in the semi-finals - a positive omen for the 2009 champion?
