For 34-year-old Nadal, it was a 99th win at Roland Garros since his 2005 debut and put him just one victory away from equalling Roger Federer’s all- time record of 20 Grand Slam titles. He is also into his 28th final at the Majors and has not dropped a set in the tournament this year. “It’s always incredible to play here and this is a very spe- cial moment,” said Nadal after a 10th win in 11 matches against Schwartzman who had shocked him in Rome last month. “I played a couple of bad points in the third set but Diego is a very tough player. He prob- ably makes more breaks on the tour than others. “It was difficult until the end but it was a positive match for me.” Nadal fought off two break points in a marathon 14-minute opening game.

It was a brief respite for the 5ft 7in (1.68m) player affection- ately known as El Peque (“shorty”), as the 28-year-old was broken again in the fourth game. The Argentine saved a cou- ple of set points but dumped the third one in the net and the opener was Nadal’s after 65 minutes on court. Nadal was comfortably the stronger, break- ing in the third and ninth games for a two sets lead. With the match and his spir- it seemingly drifting away, Schwartzman dropped serve
