Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic recognized Rafael Nadal’s superiority this Sunday in the Roland Garros final, where the Spaniard was crowned for the thirteenth time in Paris with a resounding 6-0, 6-2 and 7-5, to show “why he is the king of clay.”

“I congratulate Rafa. What you are doing on this track is incredible. Not only on this track but throughout your entire career, you are a great champion. You have shown why you are the king of clay, I suffered it firsthand, ”the Belgrade man said, still laughing about Philippe Chatrier.

The world number one had no choice against a Nadal who, in addition to defending his throne in Paris, equaled Roger Federer (20) in the ‘Grand Slam’ race that the Serbian also disputed (17).

“It was a very tough game for me today. Obviously I am not happy with the way I played but I was annulled by a better player on the court, “he said.

“I am happy for the two weeks. We are in a difficult situation and I am grateful to be able to play tennis. Thanks to all who make it possible ”, he concluded.
