If I did it, maybe somebody else can ‘"},"content":{"rendered":"

For one athlete to have so much success at a single event is wholly unprecedented, while Nadal has also set himself apart from Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic by winning 22 grand slam titles to his rivals’ 20.<\/p>\n

“There is no word to describe this feat,” Federer’s coach Ivan Ljubicic said<\/a> after the Spaniard’s straight sets victory against Casper Ruud in Sunday’s French Open final.<\/div>\n

“Don’t think good old Phillippe (Chatrier) would mind if his court changes the name to Rafael Nadal – (a) statue is not enough.” <\/p>\n

But Nadal, always eager to understate his achievements, thinks his record at Roland Garros could one day be bettered.<\/p>\n

“I always consider myself a very normal guy, so if I did it, maybe somebody else can do it,” he told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Monday. <\/p>\n

“It’s obvious the record of 22 grand slams is something much more possible that somebody can increase that record. I am sure that’s going to happen; 14 Roland Garros is something … very difficult.”<\/p>\n
