Rafael Nadal announced that he will ‘keep fighting’ to continue his career after he won the French Open for a record-extending 14th time. Nadal suffers from a chronic foot problem and rumours had persisted in Paris that this tournament could be his last – but the Spaniard confirmed he is not ready to retire just yet.
After beating Casper Ruud in a straight-sets victory on Court Philippe-Chatrier, Nadal has extended his men’s all-time grand slam record to 22 and is now the oldest French Open men’s champion in history at the age of 36.
