I was thinking as I watched this that there are gonna be kids in 20+ years time looking Nadal up on Youtube to get a sense of what a guy who wins RG 14 times actually plays like. The record was already absurd at 10 FOs - at 14 it's a mad outlier that could last several lifetimes. And you wouldn't put #15 past him if he can manage his foot.

That said, the very comfortable win in the final shouldn't overshadow how difficult and close run the FAA, Djokovic and Zverev matches were. He was much closer to losing here than in any of the 2017-2020 RGs.

And agree with the above - thanks for all the excellent analysis you produce so quickly!
