Rafael Nadal made history! The Spanish tennis player became champion of his 14th Roland Garros – record for any Grand Slam – after beating Casper Ruud 6-3, 6-3, 6-0, a 23-year-old Norwegian who played his first final of one of the most important tennis tournaments.
At 36 years old, Nadal, who with 22 conquests is the tennis player who won the most Grand Slams in his career, managed to stretch the advantage over Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, both with 20. The clay-court tournament undoubtedly suits him well, since he won the 14 finals he played.
Rafa had just beaten Alexander Zverev, who after flexing his ankle very strongly, was forced to leave when the match was 7-6 and 6-6 for the Spaniard. In the quarterfinals, he had beaten the number one in the ranking, Djokovic, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, and 7-6 (4).
For his part, the eighth in the world was the surprise of this edition by achieving his first Grand Slam final after leaving Croatian Marin Cilic behind after winning 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, and 6-2. In quarters he had beaten Danish Holger Rune.
His illusion is based on an unmatched brand since between 2020 and 2022 he has 65 wins on clay, more than any other player, far from the second, the Greek Stefanos Tistsipas, who has 51.
