Tim Henman changes mind on Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic after Spaniard’s French Open win | Tennis | Sport
Nadal broke his own records following his 6-3 6-3 6-0 win over Casper Ruud in Sunday’s French Open final. As well as becoming the tournament’s oldest male champion two days after his 36th birthday, the Spaniard also extended his record to 14 French Open titles and 22 overall Grand Slam trophies after winning his 21st in Melbourne at the start of the season.
It means he pulls further ahead of Djokovic and Nadal, who remain tied on 20 with their rival now on 22. And Henman has now confessed that Nadal’s latest victory has made him change his mind on who would finish with the most Grand Slams, having previously backed the Serb to end his career with the record.
“In terms of who’s going to end up with the most Grand Slams. Couple of years ago I would’ve said Djokovic for sure,” the former world No 4 told Eurosport. “Right now with that little bit of distance, I think Nadal has got a great chance.”
