I don’t know any other record in any other sport that equals that.”Becker points to some of tennis’ greats, himself included, that failed to win the French Open to further highlight the absurdity of Nadal’s record in Paris.
So there’s no shame in not winning the French Open,” said the 56-year-old German.
Nadal won the first grand slam of his career at the 2005 French Open.
Nadal, it goes without saying, is always the darling of the French Open crowd and has enjoyed vociferous support in some of his toughest matches.
The French Open was the only grand slam Becker failed to win.
