Novak Djokovic reacts to Rafael Nadal's French Open win

Novak Djokovic has praised Rafael Nadal after his Roland Garros win on Sunday. Nadal celebrated a 6-0 6-2 7-5 win over Djokovic in the French Open. And by beating Djokovic, Nadal won his 20th Grand Slam title and tied with Roger Federer. “He's phenomenal,” said Djokovic. “He played a perfect match, especially in the first two sets. The third set I managed to come back. I found my groove on the court. Then [there were a] couple of close games. [I] had my chances, didn't use them. He closed out the match. That's it. He was the far better player on the court today and absolutely deserved to win.” “He keeps going,” continued Djokovic. “[There is] no holding him back it seems. It's amazing. I admire all his achievements, especially the one here. It's stunning, [the] results and records that he's got on this court. He lost two times in his entire career. Winning 13 times. There's not much you can say. All the superlatives you can use, he deserves them." “He was not missing at all and getting every ball back, just playing tactically great,” added Djokovic. “I felt well throughout the entire tournament. I thought I was in a great form. Certainly, I could have played better, especially in the first two sets. But he did surprise me with the way he was playing, the quality of tennis he was producing, the level." source - atptour.com
