 Winning over Roland Garros was very important to me because of my special commitment to it. Truth be told, I never thought of equaling Roger Federer's record by winning the 20th Grand Slam. My only concern was to win the French Open title. I have spent the most important moments of my career on this court. It's a source of pride to play here. My love story with this city and court is unforgettable. Nadal had not competed in the US Open and had not competed for several months, so the French Open seemed to be the most difficult event this time around due to lack of regular preparation, as the tournament is traditionally held in May-June. When the weather is hot but it was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak, however, the French at the US Open It was decided to hold the open in October when the weather was cold for the players.

He made the statement after the semi-final matches, saying that Nadal had no chance, but immediately after the final he admitted that he was wrong. No player could respond to the high-pitched game Rafa played. He proved that he is the real champion of Clay Court and Roland Garros. At the end of the match, Nadal became obsessed with the Corona virus epidemic, citing the plight of people around the world.

Roger Federer, who won 20 Grand Slams, is now 39 years old, while Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who won 17 Grand Slams, is 33 years old. Djokovic is younger than his rivals Nadal and Federer.
