    French Open No 13: All the records and key numbers from Rafael Nadal’s 20th Grand Slam

    The 34-year-old Spaniard is now a perfect 13-0 in his career in finals at Roland Garros with his third win over Novak Djokovic in the summit clash.



    JULIEN CROSNIER / FFT - FEDERATION FRANCAISE DE TENNIS / AFP16 minutes ago



    Rafael Nadal equalled and broke several records as he demolished Novak Djokovic 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 in the French Open final on Sunday for his fourth straight title at the clay-court Major.[
    This was his record-extending 13th title (in 16 editions) at Roland Garros and 20th Grand Slam title, matching Roger Federer’s all-time men’s record of 20. Federer has held the record for more than 11 years, from his Wimbledon 2009 win right after he broke Pete Sampras’ record of 14.


    • With his dominant win, he became second man and fourth player in the Open era to cross 20 Majors. His 20 titles include 13 French Opens, four US Open titles, two at Wimbledon and one at the Australian Open.
    • Nadal has 100 match wins on Paris’s famous crushed red brick against just two defeats in 15 years. The two losses came to Robin Soderling in 2009 and Djokovic in 2015.
    • No player, male or female, has achieved 100 singles wins at French Open. Players have reached triple digit wins at the other three Grand Slams, but never at Roland Garros.
    • Nadal has a 13/13 record in French Open final and has in fact never been taken to a fifth set in a final at Roland Garros.
    • This is the fourth time (French Open 2008, 2010, 2017, 2020) he has won a Major without dropping a set, overtaking Bjorn Borg’s record
    • At 34, the Spaniard is the oldest champion in Paris since Andres Gimeno in 1972 and he won the title without dropping a set.
    • This was Nadal’s sixth Major after turning 30, the most among male players. Djokovic has five while Federer, Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall have won four each.
    • Nadal is also the first player in the Open Era, male or female, to win any tour-level event 13 times, surpassing his own and Martina Navratilova’s record.
    • This is Nadal’s 21st win over a world No 1, the most by any player male or female.

    Nadal didn't lose a set en route to the title.

    He lost 53 games in 21 sets.

    And it was only his 3rd most dominant of his 13 championships.

    Lost fewer games in 2008 and 2017, 41 and 35 games lost respectively.

    "You Deserve It": Roger Federer Congratulates Rafael Nadal On 20th Grand Slam Win


    Highlights

    • Roger Federer congratulated Rafael Nadal on the latter's 20th Grand Slam
    • Nadal equalled Federers' all-time record of 20 Grand Slam wins
    • Nadal beat Novak Djokovic in the French Open 2020 final on Sunday

    Roger Federer congratulated Rafael Nadal on the latter's 20th Grand Slam win on Sunday even as Nadal equalled Federer's all-time record of most Grand Slam titles. Nadal defeated World No. 1 Novak Djokovic 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 at Court Philippe Chatrier to win his 13th French Open title. “I have always had the utmost respect for my friend Rafa as a person and as a champion. As my greatest rival over many years, I believe we have pushed each other to become better players,” Federer wrote on Twitter.

    “Therefore, it is a true honour for me to congratulate him on his 20th Grand Slam victory. It is especially amazing that he has now won Roland Garros an incredible 13 times, which is one of the greatest achievements in sport.
    “I also congratulate his team, because nobody can do this alone. I hope 20 is just another step on the continuing journey for both of us. Well done, Rafa. You deserve it,” wrote Federer.
    Nadal did not drop a set in Sunday's summit clash and dashed Djokovic's hopes of an 18th Grand Slam and becoming the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to win all four majors twice.

    The 2020 French Open became the first time in the Open era the women’s and men’s singles champions both won the title without dropping a set.

    It has never happened in the Open Era that both men’s and women’s singles champions at a major have won the title without dropping a set.

    Daniil Medvedev finds confidence, composure en route to first ATP Finals victory



    Daniil Medvedev called winning the ATP Finals on Sunday "one of my best victories." Andy Rain/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock

    LONDON -- Daniil Medvedev winning the season-ending ATP Finals over Dominic Thiem on Sunday was a fitting end to tennis' year in which very little went to script and the unexpected seemed to occur on a tournament-by-tournament basis.
    While Thiem, who had already won his first Grand Slam at the US Open in September and defeated top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the semis, was the favorite, Medvedev had different ideas.
    In his thrilling 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4 victory against his old friend and sparring partner, Medvedev became the fifth successive player to win the ATP Finals for the first time, following in the footsteps of Andy Murray, Grigor Dimitrov, Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
    "When you find that confidence, you have to keep it," said Medvedev, who won the Paris Masters earlier this month. "It was the toughest victory in my life. ... Hopefully I can handle more big titles in my career."
    After getting on the wrong side of the crowd at last year's US Open, Medvedev decided his "new thing" will be not celebrating his victories; rather, he'll greet wins like how he does losses.
    "I think it's unique in tennis," he said. "In football I've seen some players who don't celebrate their goals, so I don't celebrate my victories -- that's my thing, and I like it."
    It was a match 10 years in the making for Medvedev. He and Thiem first met in Umag, Croatia, when Medvedev was just 14 years old. Thiem was already well established, having reached the final of the juniors at Roland Garros that year in 2011. Medvedev lost 2-0 that day on clay.
    "I had crazy attitude on the court, like 10 times worse than right now," Medvedev said. "He told me after the match, 'You're going to have a good future maybe, but you need to be a little bit more calm.' Because I was going crazy."
    The O2 on Sunday was silent, England currently in lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic. Restaurants and pubs are shut. Everyday life is restricted. For the tournament to occur, players were kept in a strict bubble all week, occupying the first two floors of a local hotel and seeing only those directly involved in this week's tournament.
    Some players said it was hard to stay focused on tennis throughout the year. Tsitsipas said earlier in the week that the whole experience had felt "very dark." Thiem also said the process of motivating himself without the 18,000-strong crowd was "exhausting."
    On Sunday, Thiem won the first set 6-4, but Medvedev built himself into the game with his baseline play, picking the right moments to come to the net and using his serve to keep Thiem pinned back.
    "We've proven we can beat the legends, the big three will still go for the big titles, but there will be a time when they retire and we will be the favorites for the big titles." Dominic Thiem
    Medvedev saved break points to force a tiebreak in the nail-biting second set, winning seven unanswered points to force a third. He broke Thiem only once in the match -- taking a 4-2 lead in the third -- and managed to close it out from there, targeting Thiem's backhand and dominating the net.
    He took the time to reflect on his path after the match, remembering when he was ranked in the 300s in the world. He called Sunday's 2-hour, 42-minute win "one of my best victories."
    There are no asterisks or caveats when it comes to Medvedev's win. 'Yes, but Roger Federer wasn't there,' or 'So-and-so was off form,' or 'He hasn't yet won a major.'
    The shadow of the "big three" -- Djokovic, Federer and Rafael Nadal -- still looms over the men's game, but, if anything, this tournament further sent a warning that other players are on their heels.
    "We've proven we can beat the legends, the big three will still go for the big titles, but there will be a time when they retire and we will be the favorites for the big titles," Thiem said. "For tennis, exciting times are coming. It's our challenge to continue their story."
    Medvedev beat Djokovic in the group stages 6-3, 6-3, and won his other two games against Zverev (6-3, 6-4) and Diego Schwartzman (6-3, 6-3) for good measure. He then beat Nadal in the semifinal in three sets.
    What's next? Scheduling-wise, it will be the Australian Open, but that is already shrouded in uncertainty with quarantine rules.
    "I hope we'll have many more matches like this," Medvedev said.
    So does the sport.
