The French Open and the final Slam of the year (a month later than usual) might be over but we're having one last big chat about Grand Slam tennis for 2020.
Rafa Nadal wins his 13th Roland Garros and 20th Grand Slam, tying Roger Federer for the most all-time men's Major titles. Something he did with such dominance that none of us expected it, even though it is Rafa at the French. Iga Swiatek wins her first title ever, just a casual Grand Slam title during a pandemic. And neither of them dropped a set.
We're talking about our RG20 winners and the finals incl the most high quality bagel ever, a couple of crazy five setters in Thiem / Schwartzman and Djokovic / Tsitsipas this week, the disappointment of Elina Svitolina not securing her first Major this week, the dominance of the big three at Slams and comparing the recent WTA Grand Slam winners compared to the recent ATP ones, how the recency in us watching tennis gives us a different perspective on women's Slam winners always being young and random, Jamie gushes about Jannik Sinner AGAIN, and we predict how many Grand Slam titles Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Serena will end on when they've all retired. Big statement.
