The match happened to be a feat that according to Moya, must be counted as one of the most incredible ones in tennis history. While the Spaniard added Rafa’s amazing victory at the Roland Garros 2022, the fans were quick to remember the match that was way more than just a competition.

A look back to the match still remembered

When tennis legends Rafa and Djokovic stood against each other at the French Open 2022 finals, the odds seemed to favor the Serbinator. While both players faced several uncertainties in entering the clay court season, Djokovic stood ahead of the Spaniard, who kept looking for a stable point after a fractured rib and dealing with a foot injury.

But besides all odds against, it was Rafael Nadal at the Roland Garros. With 110 wins and just three losses on his home turf, Nadal has proven his worth for 17 years that stats and minor setbacks cannot stop him from the event that has become his comfort zone.

While Rafa served a strong defeat to the Serbinator, winning 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6(4) after four hours and 11 minutes, the match surely became a memorable one. While the tennis star is all set to make his comeback after such a long break, Moya’s words doubled up the expectations of the fans from the tennis star who has always defied the impact of injuries.
