Rafael Nadal French Open record won't be beaten - Andy Murray

Rafael Nadal's record of 13 French Open titles will never be broken, says Britain's Andy Murray.

Nadal, 34, sealed his latest Roland Garros success with a 6-0 6-2 7-5 win over Novak Djokovic on Sunday, to equal Roger Federer's feat of 20 Grand Slams.

The nearest to the Spaniard's total in the Open era is Bjorn Borg, French Open winner six times between 1974 and 1981.

"It's an amazing achievement," Murray said. "I don't think it'll be repeated, I don't think anyone will be close."

Federer hailed Nadal's victory as "one of sport's greatest achievements" and Murray echoed the Swiss legend - citing how the Spaniard's record compares with 14-time Grand Slam champion Pete Sampras, one of the greats of tennis.
