Roger Federer was all praise for Rafael Nadal after the Spaniard equalled his record of 20 Grand Slam titles with a 13th French Open victory on Sunday.
Federer called it a "greatest achievement" after Nadal thrashed Novak Djokovic 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 at the Roland Garros final.
“I have always had the utmost respect for my friend Rafa as a person and a champion,” tweeted Federer, who missed the Paris tournament to recover from a knee surgery.
