THE FRENCH OPEN 2012 (POST PREDICTION)
It was exciting and delightful to watch the duel between Rafa and Novak albeit the interruption by mother nature. However, I was disappointed when they weren’t able to complete the match and was left in angst for another day. I’m quite sure most tennis fans were feeling the same.
Rafa has broken Bjorn Borg’s record of 6 French Open titles. For Rafa, it is not to break a record but “the most special tournament of the world”.
Novak Djokovic took the 3rd set 6-2, defeating Rafa effortlessly. Unfortunately, weather conditions got worse and play was halted. The rest is history.
“It was a very difficult match against the best player in the world. I lost 3 Grand Slam finals- Wimbledon, the US Open last year, and the Australian Open this year. I’m very happy, very emotional”- Rafael Nadal.
