This Roland Garros triumph on Sunday, his 13th, finally gave tennis its 20:20 vision. It came with added significance in that it moves Nadal up to 20 Grand Slam singles titles, equal with Roger Federer, and fights off the challenge of Novak Djokovic for another day. And in only 224 days’ time he is due back at Roland Garros at a theoretically more favourable time of year, where he will be expected to add to his total. An argument against Nadal’s claims is that one place has provided him with so much success, and he has a 98-2 record at Roland Garros. The way Nadal closed it out was contrastingly typical of this extraordinary athlete.
