PARIS :Rafael Nadal regained his aura of invincibility on clay on Sunday by brutally crushing Casper Ruud to lift the French Open trophy for an incredible 14th time and widen the gap at the top of the men's all-time list of Grand Slam winners.
PARIS: Rafael Nadal was a doubt to even play at the French Open due to a chronic left foot injury, but the 'King of clay' ended the fortnight in Paris with a record-extending 14th Roland Garros crown.
Rafael Nadal said he would "fight to keep going" after beating Casper Ruud in the final to win his 14th French Open title on Sunday, despite being hampered by injury.
Rafael Nadal winning the French Open. The Spaniard secured a 14th title at Roland Garros with a straight-sets rout of Casper Ruud on Sunday, swelling his record-setting Grand Slam collection to 22. Nadal, the oldest ever champion in Paris at 36, now has 112 match wins on the famous crushed red brick against just three defeats in 17 years.
Mucho movimiento en el ranking. Y aún más por llegar. Roland Garros cambiará por completo el Top 8 del tenis mundial, aunque no lo hará de inmediato. Novak Djokovic, sin ir más lejos, seguirá como número uno una semana más, pero ese es justamente el tiempo que, seguro, le queda en la cima. Esta temporada, pues, se da una situación peculiar. En 2021, el Grand Slam parisino terminó una semana más tarde que este año y, por ello, los puntos relativos a la pasada edición se restarán el 13 de junio y no este lunes 6, como sería habitual. A la ecuación, además, se añade otra variable, relativa a las medidas (congelación y distinta ponderación de puntos) de la organización por la pandemia. que será cuarto esta semana y mantendrá el puesto tras el reajuste total, defendía 1.000 puntos (el 50% de su título en 2020) y no los 720 que debería en consonancia con sus semifinales de 2021.
PARIS: Rafael Nadal won a 14th French Open and record-extending 22nd Grand Slam title on Sunday with a straight-sets rout of Casper Ruud to become the oldest male champion at Roland Garros and he vowed to “keep fighting.” In a disappointing final, 36-year-old Nadal won 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 with victory coming 17 years to the day since he claimed his first French Open as a 19-year-old in 2005. Nadal won the last 11 games of the final and is now two Slams ahead of old rivals Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer with Sunday’s victory coming against all the odds. Nadal, the oldest winner in Paris since a 34-year-old Andre Gimeno in 1972, had not been certain of taking part after a chronic left foot injury, which has plagued him throughout his career, flared up again.
Toni Nadal atendió a la Cadena SER tras el 14º Roland Garros de su sobrino: Lo que es increíble es que mi sobrino, con un coche medio renqueante, todavía siga ganando, demuestra que es el mejor conductor que hay. Yo creo que en su ADN está luchar hasta el final, más cuando ves que está ganando dos Grand Slam este año. Sabes que estás a un gran nivel y quieres seguir luchando".
