The 12th victory of the French Open also enabled him to surpass the famous court (11th Australian Open champion) and achieve the first person in the history of winning the championship in the same Grand Slam.
Xinhua News Agency, Paris, June 9 (reporter Su Bin) in the 2019 French Open men’s singles final held on 9th, Spanish player Nadal defeated Austrian Tim in 4 sets and won the championship for the third consecutive year, and became the first athlete in history to win the championship 12 times in the same Grand Slam event.
As Tim stepped out of the border return, Nadal got the last point leading to the 12th “hackbuteer Cup” and the 18th grand slam champion. The 12th victory of the French Open also enabled him to surpass the famous court (11th Australian Open champion) and achieve the first person in the history of winning the championship in the same Grand Slam.
After Nadal successfully transformed the second match point, he hid his face with both hands in the cheers of the audience. He was a little excited and lay on the red clay of Philip Sariya Stadium. At present, he and Federer, who won the most championships in the men’s grand slam, still have two champions.
Nadal won the championship this time, which means that his “three Giants” with Federer and Jiao Kovic have won the Champions of the past 10 Grand Slam events.
In the 53-minute first-set contest, Tim took the lead in breaking the game with 3:2. However, Nadal quickly broke back and won the following three games in succession, winning the first set with 6:3.
Tim, who strives for the first Grand Slam champion, defeated Nadal four times in the red clay field. He picked up in the second set and equalized the set at 7:5. However, Tim, who played for 4 consecutive days before the final, could not continue this state since then, and was hit by Nadal for two consecutive sets with a disparity score of 6:1. The competition took 3 hours and 1 minute. Nadal’s current French Open record is 93 wins and 2 losses.
“Being able to win another victory at this time obviously makes people feel satisfied and happy.” In Nadal’s view, the opening of the third set is the key to this game.
Nadal sent Tim a message: “Keep working hard, you will win this championship eventually.”
“I have made all my efforts.” Tim said helplessly, “it is not true that he can win the championship 12 times here.”
Throughout the game, Nadal scored 38 winning points, 7 more than Tim, and 7 less than Tim for 31 unforced mistakes.
In the women’s double final which ended earlier, the Chinese group Duan Yingying/Zheng competition won 2:6, 3:6 match second Seed Babos/Mladenovic, won the second place.
