Spain's top player Rafael Nadal made three straight sets in the final of the men's singles at the end of the 2018 French open Wednesday, sweeping Austria's Tim in 6:4, 6:3 And 6:2, winning the "Musketeer Cup" which symbolizes the highest honor of the men's singles at French Open for the 11th time. Continue to set a record number of French Open Championships.
After Rafael Nadal expanded his number of Grand Slam titles to 17, it was soon mentioned that he was three times short of Federer's 20. Nadal replied: 'let me enjoy this championship first! I can't always expect more. Of course, I have such a desire to win, and I am full of passion for what I have done. But I never bother to think about these crazy things. You can't always drag yourself down for comparison. Of course I want to win 20 or more Grand Slam titles in the future like Roger, but it's just that this is not something I've been thinking about. What I've been thinking about is that now I've won another trophy that's very important to me. 17 is a good number, I feel very happy to have everything now. '
After winning the title, Nadal was very moved and tears filled his eyes. He said: 'it's hard for me to explain the mood at that time. It's a kind of true expression. In my career, I have achieved more than I expected. But on the other hand, I have also experienced many difficult times, many times I have been struggling with injuries. For example, at the Australian Open at the beginning of this year, I was trying my best to win the championship, but I had to leave because of the injury. Then in Acapulco, I was forced to suspend because of an injury, and I missed Indian Wells and Miami. The injury made my result so tepid, and then I started the red clay season with everyone's doubts. It was hard for me to get back to the game at the beginning of this year, you know how hard it is to go through it. So for me, it's amazing to win the French open again, so I'm very emotional. '
