Nadal wins Roland Garros for 14th time
The Spanish athlete has once again confirmed that he is the “ground king” of modern tennis.
Rafael Nadal confidently won Roland Garros 2022. In the final, the experienced Spanish tennis player left no chance for the Norwegian Kasper Ruud, defeating his opponent in three sets – 6:3, 6:3, 6:0.
The opponents spent 2 hours and 20 minutes on the court. The Spaniard filed right through once, made three double faults and converted eight out of 16 breakpoints. The Norwegian tennis player did not serve aces, made one double fault and converted two of the three breakpoints presented.
Thus, Nadal became the winner of Roland Garros for the 14th time and won the 22nd Grand Slam title. Both of these figures are records for men’s tennis.
In addition, the 36-year-old Spaniard also became the oldest champion of the French Open, updating the achievement of his compatriot Andres Gimeno, who won this tournament 50 years ago at 34 years and 10 months.
