The Swiss welcomed his great rival to the 20-title club shortly after Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic but for the Spaniard it was all about his love for the French Open
In his astonishing straight-sets bludgeoning of Novak Djokovic on Sunday, Rafael Nadal unlocked many surreal achievements. He now owns 13 Roland Garros titles, 15 years after his first outing.
Nadal is the first man in history to win six grand slam titles over the age of 30, a level of longevity that must taste so sweet after years of hearing his game was too physical to last. His 100-2 win-loss record at the event simply does not make any sense. Still, the subject was about Nadal joining Roger Federer on 20 major titles.
