Rafael Nadal was already in another dimension, the best of the best after winning the 21st Grand Slam at the Australian Open in January, with which he broke the tie with the other two best in history, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. But in Paris, where he shines again, he puts one more step between his legend and that of the Swiss and the Serbian.
Nadal adds his fourteenth Roland Garros, in fourteen finals, and with the title 22, the historical men’s classification of the tennis players with the most Grand Slams remains like this.
Rafael Nadal: 22 (2 Australian Open, 14 Roland Garros, 2 Wimbledon, 4 US Open)
