Rafael Nadal, an honorary member of Real Madrid, recorded a historic victory against Novak Djokovic at the 2020 Roland Garros tennis championship winning his 13th French Open and 20th overall Grand Slam. The former solidifies the myth of his legendary record in France extending his already ridiculous record. Nadal claiming his 20th Grand Slam now ties him with Roger Federer for the most in history.
