Raphael Nadal emerged victorious on Saturday as he overcame Roger Federer in four sets to claim his sixth French Open tennis title.
This now stands Rafa on ten Grand Slam titles only one behind tennis greats Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg.Nadal is more importantly only six behind current Grand Slam record holder and the man he just defeated Roger Federer, who now is approaching 30 and is five years Nadal's senior.
The debate on who is the greatest of all time rages on but no one can argue that both of these players will go down as two of the best to ever grace a tennis court.
Did you know? The French open was named after French aviator Roland Garros who was the first aviator to fly across the Mediterranean sea in 1913. The tournament is named after the stadium where it is held, Stade de Rolland Garros.
