Beginning with Nadal-Federer from Paris 2006, Nadal-Federer from Wimbledon 2008, Nadal-Federer from Melbourne 2009, Federer-Soderling from Paris 2009, Federer-Roddick from Wimbledon 2009, they joined this restricted club. Djokovic-Nadal from the Australian Open 2012, Murray-Djokovic from Wimbledon 2013, Wawrinka-Djokovic from Paris 2015, Federer-Nadal from Melbourne 2017, Djokovic-Federer from Wimbledon 2019 and last but not least, Thiem’s ​​victory in Flushing Meadows, a month ago, against Alexander Zverev. But just one tournament was enough to restore the order that has ruled the world of tennis for the past three decades. The final between Rafa and Nole from Paris has enormous significance. Let’s see in detail all the records that one or the other would set by winning the 2020 Roland Garros title.

how many titles!

–

It is the final with the most Grand Slam titles on the pitch: 36, 19 on Nadal’s notice board and 17 on Djokovic’s. One more than the 2019 Wimbledon final in which Federer faced with 20 Slams and Djokovic with 15. Rafa is looking for the 13th title at Roland Garros and the 20th Slam overall to match Roger Federer’s tally. Djokovic, for his part, is looking for the 2nd title in Paris (after 2016) and the 18th overall in the Slams to bring one less from Rafa and less than two from Roger. Djokovic would also become the third player in history to win all the Grand Slams at least twice: the other two are Rod Laver and Roy Emerson. Djokovic would also be the first, after Laver and Emerson, to hit the Melbourne-Paris match twice; in the Open era it happened once to Mats Wilander (1988), once to Jim Courier (1992) and once to Djokovic (2016).

I record

–

Let’s go back to Nadal: winning Rafa would touch 100 games won at Roland Garros with only 2 losses; He would be the second player in history to reach 100 in a Grand Slam after Federer’s 102 games in Australia and Federer’s 101 at Wimbledon. If Nadal wins, he increases the gap between the first and last Grand Slam victory to 15 years, setting an all-time record. If Nadal wins, he becomes the third player in history to win Grand Slams in three decades after Ken Rosewall (’50, ’60 and ’70) and after Novak Djokovic (2000, ’10 and ’20). One between Djokovic and Nadal becoming the first Open Era player to win 6 Grand Slams after turning 30. At the moment both are first with 5. At 34 years and 4 months, Rafa would become the second oldest Roland Garros champion after Andrés Gimeno who won in 1972 at 34 years and 10 months.
