This coming Monday, June 9 2014 - Spain's Rafael Nadal will start his 139th week overall at No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings. This comes after the heels of his historic fifth straight – and ninth overall – Roland Garros title. Nadal denied rival Novak Djokovic’s hopes of completing a career grand Slam by winning his 14th major title. He is now tied with American legend Pete Sampras at No. 2 in the Grand Slam title-leaders list on 14 major crowns. Nadal improved his record at Roland Garros to 66-1 and he has now won 35 consecutive matches. His only loss was in the 2009 fourth round, to Robin Soderling of Sweden.
Had Djokovic won the title, he would have returned to the world #1 ranking. This is the 2nd time he has finished as runner-up to Nadal at the French Open, the first time was in 2012. In his post-match interview, Djokovic reflected on Nadal's dominance on the clay courts of Paris. “Obviously his records speak for themselves,” said Djokovic. “He has won this tournament now nine times. It's very impressive… He has lost only once in his career on centre court. It's definitely not easy best of five to play against him in these conditions.”
