The opponents spent 2 hours and 20 minutes on the pitch. Nadal acted with a lot of confidence in the first and third sets. Ruud had small chances in the second game, but he didn’t take advantage of them.
We bring to your attention a video review of the match.
Nadal has already become a 22-time Grand Slam winner. It is noteworthy that on the way to the title, he beat four world top 10 tennis players at once. His victims were Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (9), Serbian Novak Djokovic (1), German Alexander Zverev (3) and Ruud himself (8).
Victim – Ruud
After the game, the Norwegian admitted he really doesn’t want to meet Nadal in the tournament.
“Yes, I think facing him at Roland Garros is the toughest challenge possible. I said that before the game, but now I know for sure. It’s really not easy.
His achievements speak for themselves. He has never lost a final here, and for good reason. As I said in an interview on the pitch, I just became another victim of the final,” the athlete told a press conference.
Will Nadal continue?
It has been said a lot that Rafa could end his career after Roland Garros. The Spaniard hasn’t ruled out that such an option is possible. But he explained that everything will depend on his condition. Great!
“Obviously I don’t want and I can’t continue playing under these circumstances. Quite simply, I’ll look for a solution to improve my foot situation.
For the past two weeks I’ve been playing around with the injections so I don’t feel any pain in my leg. I played because I didn’t feel the pain and the leg at all. The doctor injected an anesthetic directly into the nerve. But this increases the risk you can damage your leg.
If no solution can be found, I will have to ask myself if I am ready to continue. Are you ready to undergo an operation that guarantees nothing,” Nadal told a press conference.
Well, Nadal has already made history. He is now ahead of Djokovic and Roger Federer by two major titles. We have the feeling that Nadal can still break away from his pursuers. But, of course, the main question is its condition. Let’s hope the “King of the Dirt” hasn’t said his last word yet!
