Rafael Nadal Beats Dominic Thiem To Win 12th French Open Title by kikio1992(m): 10:00pm On Jun 09, 2019 |
Rafael Nadal has won a record 12th French Open title after beating Austria's Dominic Thiem in four sets in the final tournament of the 2019 French Open. The 33-year-old Spanish Tennis champion defeated the 25-year-old Austrian opponent, 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 in exactly three hours to claim his victory at the Court Philippe Chatrier this evening. The World Number 2 now becomes the first player to win a dozen titles on the same court (Margaret Court won her 12 Australian Opens at different venues), putting him four clear of Roger Federer’s eight at Wimbledon and Novak Djokovic’s seven in Melbourne. Speaking on his win, Rafael Nadal said: 'Congrats to Dominic, I feel sorry because he deserves it, I really hope he wins in future. He has unbelievable intensity and passion for this sport. I want to encourage him. 'It's an unbelievable moment for me, I can't explain it. For me it was a dream to play the first time in 2005. 'I never thought back then that in 2019 I would still be here so it's very special for me.'

kikio1992: When the bullet coming to your house, you should have opened your mouth so that it can get in their and most times bullets don't kill lizards who think they can swallow fish without seeing pepper around the ground. If it was too early to get to church and made sure that you visited the mosque near Vatican city and nobody would have agreed that Beyonce was a chorister in deeper life before joining the super eagles to play under 5 would cup games. It is very certain that Abcha was not ready to looted this country in such a way that those money were misplaced by the thieves who forgot to steal from Nigerian Central shrine. But thank your God that you would have died early to save you the problem of being single without having any reason to be alive and see that bullets are not harmful to humans. But I know for sure you will not like the way this country will be managed by Trump is Buhari decides to rule USA and guess that Bobrisky will be the King of the North in GOT but he was busy playing UEFA Champions league that nobody gave him pass to even be chosen as a footballer. You all can disagree to play on the high pitch before riding the horse that might kill people. If they like let them not but am hungry over my own sled but the letter was somehow harsh to eat rice but am not okay with how Satan allowed my super market to sell in the moon light but if I was shouting why Kim Karadashian family decided to sing in deeper life camp ground then obama would have been the pastor against humanity if not why did she rape the two guys who were against her from giving birth since she was already nine months pregnant am not too sure if the condom was original that all Nigerian solders couldn't even come in terms with boko haram campus gate but the calabar girls became chibok girls of Abuja white house. 2 Likes 1 Share |
