Thiem had beaten Djokovic! This is the man who had played 11 finals at Roland Garros before this, and had never been beaten. In his turn, Nadal had beaten 92 opponents at Roland Garros — yes, 92 — and with a quiet sense of inevitability, Thiem became the 93rd. On Sunday, Roland Garros was Nadal’s again. Some more numbers: this was Nadal’s 950th win on tour (behind Federer on 1,207) and his 18th major, behind Federer’s 20.
