Rafael Nadal’s first French Open titles air on NBC Sports’ ‘From the Vault’

Relive 25 percent of Rafael Nadal‘s French Open titles on NBCSN on Wednesday, part of NBC Sports’ “From the Vault” week.

Starting at 7 p.m. ET, catch Nadal’s triumphs on the terre battue from 2006, 2011 and 2005 in succession. Coverage also streams on NBCSports.com/live and the NBC Sports app.

In 2006, Nadal met Federer in a Grand Slam final for the first time, rallying 1-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (4) for his second title at Roland Garros. Nadal conquered Federer in three different clay finals that spring, breaking Guillermo Vilas‘ 29-year-old male record for consecutive wins on the surface (53).
