PARIS - Rafael Nadal stands three victories away from winning a jaw-dropping 12th French Open title after reaching the quarter-finals on Sunday but says his haul could one day be beaten.
Second seed Nadal has dropped just one set and is playing arguably as well as he has ever done on the Parisian clay since his domination began in 2005. It is a superhuman effort from an incredible athlete and it’s difficult to imagine it ever being emulated.“What happened here, it’s something really unbelievable,” he told reporters. “I don’t know what can happen in the future or not. But yeah, 11 here already is something really unbelievable. I always say the same.
He would have given plenty of top names a run for their money, bravely taking the game to Nadal with his aggressive baseline game and killer drop shots.
