Th record for most French Open titles in the Open era was held by Bjorn Borg, who won the crown on six occasions between 1974 and 1981.

“At that time it was unthinkable for me to win two Roland Garros. Until then, only seven or eight players had won two Roland Garros in history. It was an extraordinary thing. Obviously today what Rafael Nadal does at Roland Garros is incomparable. You cannot talk about both things in the same sentence,” Bruguera said.

Sergi Bruguera is also a former Spanish World No.3 and one of the two players from Spain who has triumphed at the Roland Garros multiple times however, he has stated that what Nadal has achieved on that territory is ‘incomparable’ which it undoubtedly is.
