In numbers | All the stats behind Rafael Nadal's record 13th French Open haul at Roland Garros

India TV News  

One of the toughest tasks in sports history is arguably defeating Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros. Nadal did blink once in the final set, perhaps falling for the pressure that the world number one had created with a few impressive returns, but he maintained composure to serve it out to love with an ace as the Spaniard continued his reign in Paris with a record 13th major and equalling the one record that has been the cynosure of his contest, let alone the tournament - equalling Roger Federer's all-time Grand Slam tally. Here are all the numbers behind Rafael Nadal's record 13th French Open haul at Roland Garros. 6 Nadal became the first man in the Open Era to win six majors after turning 30, surpassing Djokovic who had equalled the feat after his eighth Australian Open haul this year. 2 Nadal also became the second man after Djokovic in Open Era to win a Grand Slam title in three different decades - 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.
