The Spaniard became the first male to win the same major 11 times on Sunday with his 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Austria’s Dominic Thiem.
Nadal now owns 17 major titles which puts him three behind Roger Federer for the all-time lead. The Spaniard joins Margaret Court as the only tennis player to win 11 majors at the same major—Court won 11 at the Australian Open.
