Roland Garros - Men's Final
2 Rafael Nadal d 1 Novak Djokovic - 64 63 26 75
The case is closed - Rafa is the undisputed best player ever on clay.
He moved past Bjorn Borg with an historic 7th Roland Garros title.
In doing so Rafa started 2 new ties with Bjorn...
Rafa, Bjorn, Roger and Pete have all won Slams in 8 consecutive years.
With 11 Slams he, Borg & Laver are tied at 4th on the all-time Slam list.
Behind Federer (16), Sampras (14) and Emerson (12).
Also historic: No 2 men have ever played 4 successive Slam finals.
Rafa improves his H2H against Nole to 19/14 - winning the last 3.
Rafa post-match: I feel very lucky to have achieved all that I've achieved.
I have great rivals. There have been a lot of important matches...
I've been able to enjoy against fantastic players.
***
As for Novak, he will continue his run at #1.
He will also head to Wimbledon as the defender.
He'll also try to turn his Beijing bronze into London gold just after Wimby.
Novak post-match: Rafa is the best player ever on clay...
And he's one of the best players who have ever played this game.
We are young & hopefully can have many more battles over the next years.
A-hem, I think we may just get Rafa/Nole match #34 in a couple weeks.
