After winning a historic 14th French Open title on Sunday, Rafael Nadal turned heads when he suggested it might be his last time dominating the clay at Roland Garros.
The 36-year-old claimed his 22nd Grand Slam title, the most by a male tennis player, after cruising to a straight-set victory over Norway’s Casper Ruud. He improved his record at Roland Garros to 112–3 and did so all while nursing an ailing foot.
On Monday, Nadal expanded upon his future career plans and addressed the idea of someone else breaking his record for the most men’s singles major titles, saying that he doesn’t feel like his happiness is contingent on holding the record.
