Rafael Nadal must overcome the spectacular shot-making of Stan Wawrinka if he is to win a record 10th French Open title on Sunday.
The Spaniard, 31, will become the first player in the open era to win a Grand Slam title 10 times if he wins.
Swiss third seed Wawrinka hit 87 winners as he beat world number one Andy Murray in the semi-finals.
"It's true that when he hits hard, he hits really hard. Stopping him can be difficult," said Nadal.
"I know he's dangerous when he plays aggressively, so I need to limit his possibilities.
"I will play very aggressively, and I don't want him to take control - easy to say, but it may not be that easy to do."
Nadal has yet to drop a set in Paris, reaching the final for the loss of just 29 games over six matches.
His record at Roland Garros now stands at 78 match wins and two defeats since he won his first title in 2005.
However, injury problems hampered his chances in recent years and he has not won a major title since his last French Open triumph in 2014.
