French Open 2020: Rafael Nadal eyes Roger Federer's record 

Apart from defending the crown, Rafael Nadal also has a chance to equal Roger Federer's record. The Swiss, who is out of French Open 2020 with a knee injury, currently holds a record of 20 Grand Slam titles and if Nadal does win his 13th French Open title, he will also have 20 Grand Slam titles to his name. The only man who stands in way of Nadal making history is Novak Djokovic, who is eyeing his 18th title. Novak Djokovic won five of the seven major titles to raise his tally to 17 before being disqualified at the US Open for accidentally hitting a line judge with a ball while walking to a changeover.
