Ravi Patki: Rafael Nadal won the 14th French Open tournament. Participating in a prestigious tournament 18 times and winning 14 times is no food. Clay court he walks around with his pocket. Heard he named his bed after Roland Garros. (Rafael Nadal won the French Open title for the 14th time, know his success story Ravi Patki Blog)
The ball comes slow on the clay court. On courts that require a great power game and stamina, topspin is their main weapon on these types of slow courts. His topspin bounces off the ball and the ball goes deep to the baseline. The opponent comes to Metacuti, covering that bounce. Nadal then scored on his opponent’s weak return by playing a drop shot or deep volley to score points.
Nadal’s power with both backhands is a storm. All these clay court weapons are at his disposal. He has never gone five sets in his 14 French Open finals so far. At the French Open since 2005, Patha has won 112 matches and lost just three. He lost to Soderling in 2009, Djokovic in 2015 and 2021.
He is the only player to have won the Grand Slam tournament 14 times. In the open era of tennis, Martina has won Wimbledon 9 times, Djokovic 9 times Australian, Federer 8 Wimbledon, Serena Williams 7 times Australian and 7 Wimbledon.
Nadal has won 333 sets at the French Open since 2005 and lost just 34. He won the French Open in 2008, 2010, 2017 and 2020 without losing a set. His dominance on the clay court is unmatched. From 2005 to 2007, he won 81 matches in a row on clay courts.
When Beyoncé Borg won the French Championship 5 times, I didn’t think anyone would break that record. Borg also showed that he was an all-round player by winning Wimbledon 5 times.
Nadal has reached the summit with 14 French victories. How much physical and mental preparation will he have? The game of tennis requires stamina. Smoke comes out of the ears just once served and goes to the net to volley. Winning the most demanding competition in this type of sport at the age of 36 would be a win-win attitude.
After winning, Path says if strength and fitness persist, I will come again. Suffering from leg injuries for many years, he remains in the goat (greatest ever) race against all odds.
Be it Federer or Djokovic or Nadal, everyone’s fans will vote for their favorite player as the goat. The trio has achieved so much in tennis that it is difficult to choose one of the three as the goat.
I don’t think any one will be better than the other with a margin of one or two Grand Slam tournament wins. All three are great. After Borg, Connors, McEnroe, Sampras, Agassi brought the tennis world a feast of high competition. The competition between Federer, Djokovic, Nadal not only enriched tennis but also enriched the experience of tennis fans. Gentleman and champion Nadal should keep playing and winning.
