Nadal now has a record 22 Grand Slams
Earlier this year in Australia, Nadal won his 21st Grand Slam title.
This past fortnight, Nadal celebrated his 14th French Open victory and lifted a record 22nd Grand Slam title. Last year, Nadal was beaten by Novak Djokovic in the French Open semifinal. Nadal returned to Roland Garros this year and made it all the way once again.
“For me having this trophy next to me again means everything. [It] has been [an] emotional victory, without a doubt. Unexpected in some ways. [I am] very happy,” Nadal said in his post-match press conference. “[It] has been a great two weeks.
I played from the beginning, improving every day. Finishing [by] playing a good final. [I am] super happy and can’t thank everybody enough for the support since the first day that I arrived here. [It is] very emotional”.
Nadal will now take some time to rest and address his chronic foot pain. Nadal has confirmed that he would like to play Wimbledon.
