Now by getting his hands on the 14th French Open title, Rafael Nadal became bigger than his generational rivals and upped his tally by adding another major to it.

This is a phenomenal feat for someone coming back from a foot injury that almost cost his career. Nadal missed the most of last year with the injury and made a miraculous come back this year by winning the Australian Open title, where he defeated World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev in a gruesome 5-hour battle to create history.
After that, this year, just before the French Open, Nadal’s foot injury resurfaced during his third round loss to Denis Shapovalov. At the French Open too, Nadal had to play all his matches by taking anti-inflammatory injection before every match. He showed no discomfort during his matches and showed his class by reaching the final. At the summit clash, he was at his dominant best as he defeated Casper Ruud 6-3, 6-3, 6-0.
With the victory he has won 14 French Open titles, 2 Australian Open titles, 2 Wimbledon titles and 4 US Open titles.
