Nadal Defeats Djokovic 2020 French Open Men's Final: Four Thoughts

Four thoughts from the 2020 French Open men's final.

• Rafael Nadal wins the 2020 French Open, retaining his title as the Roland Garros, subduing his longtime challenger, Novak Djokovic 6-0, 6-2, 7-5. This was 100th win for Nadal at the French Open and it was simply sensational, the usual clinic in claycourt tennis, but also in managing a situation. This historic final may have been played at a strange time of year, under a roof, before 1,000 masked fans. During a global pandemic. And you’d never know it watching Nadal. He discharged his duties as he always does in Paris.
