Paris: Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic in the French Open 2020 final on Sunday, claiming his 20th Grand Slam title and his 13th French Open title.
Nadal accomplished those feats in dominant fashion, posting a 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 victory over Djokovic. The 34-year-old from Spain had won 100 matches at Roland Garros, with just two defeats since his debut in 2005 – including a combined 26-0 record in the semifinals and finals – with the win. It was his fourth consecutive title in Paris.
“The love story that I have with this city, and with this court, is unforgettable,” said Nadal, who became the oldest French Open champion since 1972.
Rafael Nadal’s triumph is an iconic moment in the history of men’s singles tennis as he equalled Roger Federer’s all-time grand slam record of 20 titles.
