Rafael Nadal dropped six games total to beat Casper Ruud in the 2022 French Open final on Sunday, his 4th top-10 win of a title run that began with uncertainty about the health of his foot. Rafa has still never lost a Roland Garros final or even gone five sets, of which he's now played 14. It is also the Spaniards 22nd major, giving him a two Slam lead over Novak Djokovic. Gill Gross breaks down the match, including how Nadal attacked Ruud's backhand, and how Ruud's fear of the Nadal forehand came back to bite him. Also, Nadal gave a full breakdown of the latest developments in his foot condition and expressed his plan for playing Wimbledon. Gill opens with a take on how the Slam race looks different now, and how important 2022 will be due to the rise of Carlos Alcaraz.
