'Of course, it is not an ideal finish, a match at 1.30 in the morning.' Rafael Nadal battled the cold weather and a late finish while overcoming Jannik Sinner in the French Open.

The Spaniard overcame 19-year-old Sinner 7-6 , 6-4, 6-1 in temperatures that hovered around 10 degrees Celsius , finishing in the early hours of the Paris morning, the latest finish ever at Roland Garros.And although the 12-time French Open winner acknowledged the game's early morning conclusion was a challenge, Nadal's main problem was with the low temperatures."Of course, it is not an ideal finish, a match at 1.30 in the morning," Nadal told the media after his victory.

"For me, I just tried to be patient, accept everything, and be in a positive shape. That's what I did."Nadal is aiming for his 13th French Open and 20th grand slam title which will equal Roger Federer's record.Before this French Open, world No.2 Nadal had complained about the new balls and the cold weather making the courts heavier and negating the large amounts of spin he has become so accustomed to taking advantage of on clay-courts.
