Rafael Nadal tied Roger Federer‘s men’s Grand Slam singles titles record at the 2020 French Open. He can break it this year.
Nadal, seeded third, goes for a record-extending 14th Roland Garros crown, and a 21st major title overall to overtake his longtime Swiss rival.
The 34-year-old Nadal didn’t catch a break in the draw, however. He’s seeded third and in the same half as top-ranked Novak Djokovic, meaning they would meet in the semifinals.
However, the biggest threat may be fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, who is in the other half.
