Rafael Nadal, the greatest tennis player of all time, continues to make history. Nadal won the French Open for the 22nd time on Sunday, improving his Grand Slam total to 22 and extending his lead on the all-time record. Nadal is currently 14-0 in finals at the French Open.
About the match against David Goffin:
At the 2022 Madrid Masters, Rafael Nadal pulled off a stunning comeback against David Goffin. He survived four match chances in the third round on Thursday, defeating the Belgian 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (9).
In the second set, the Spaniard almost had the match won, but the Belgian saved two match points to force a deciding. The tie-break in the last set was full of twists and turns as both players refused to budge. After 20 points, Goffin’s resistance finally gave up as he hit a straightforward forehand wide of the tramline.
While Nadal seemed to be in complete control at the time, his supporters, including wife Maria Francisca Perello, were visibly moved. Perello seldom goes to tournaments with her husband, but with the Madrid Masters being so near to home, she made an exception. Her reward for making the journey was a brief period of anxiousness. The former World No. 1’s wife was seen on tape struggling to maintain her composure as the event unfolded. She even resorted to praying at one point, a move that embodied the emotions of Nadal supporters throughout the world.
Rafael Nadal will face countryman Carlos Alcaraz for a place in the semifinals on Friday after defeating David Goffin. In the quarterfinals, the youngster defeated ninth seed Cameron Norrie to set up a showdown with his childhood idol. The pair has only met twice thus far, with the 21-time Grand Slam champion winning both matches. During last year’s Madrid Masters, the Mallorcan defeated the World No. 10 in straight sets. At the 2022 Indian Wells Open, he defeated the young Spaniard in three sets. The matchup is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. With a win over Alcaraz, the World No. 4 will face either top seed Novak Djokovic or 12th seed Hubert Hurkacz in the quarterfinals.
