It was a thrilling precursor to what could well be the same lineup in the French Open final at Roland Garros next month.After a patchy start to the clay court season, Nadal looked near his unstoppable best at times against Djokovic who had no answer to his opponent's thundering ground strokes in the opening set, as Nadal secured the first ever bagel in the pair's rivalry -- 54 matches and 142 sets.
Novak Djokovic smashes his racquet after being broken.From there it was a relatively one-sided affair as Nadal lost just one more game to secure his 81st tournament win."For me, as I said every day, winning titles is important but the most important thing is feeling competitive and feeling healthy," Nadal told ATP."I'm very happy for the victory, I played well.
It was a great match. I felt bad for Novak, who has played more singles than any other player these past two weeks. His body had to be absolutely worn out but he gave it his best shot. And RAFA was great!
Must not be a lot of competition in tennis. See the same mfers winning shit
King of Clay🚀🚀
