Rafael Nadal establishes new records and becomes the oldest men's singles champion in French Open history after winning his 14th title.

Rafael Nadal, who won his 14th French Open title at the age of 36, set a number of records.

The World No. 5 surged through his opponents to win a record-extending 14th Roland Garros title after entering the French Open 2022 with injury concerns and no titles on clay this season.

Nadal dethroned last year’s winner, Novak Djokovic, in the quarter-final of the French Open 2022 after advancing through a top-heavy first draw.

Rafael Nadal has once again proved the doubters wrong.Nadal won his 22nd Grand Slam championship at the age of 36, increasing his lead over the other two members of the Big 3 of men’s singles tennis, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, both of whom have 20 Grand Slam victories.

Nadal is still breaking records and exploring new territory at the age of 36.

On Sunday, Rafael Nadal broke Andres Gimeno’s record of 34 years and 305 days set in the 1972 French Open men’s singles final.

Nadal became only the third guy in Grand Slam history to defeat four of the top ten players during a winning streak. He’ll be competing alongside Roger Federer (Australian Open 2017) and Mats Wilander (1982 French Open). On his way to triumph, Nadal defeated Felix Auger-Alissiame, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, and Casper Ruud.
