Swiss tennis player Roger Federer wrote a touching post to Spaniard Rafael Nadal in honor of his 13th victory at Roland Garros.

The latter won the 20th title of the Grand Slam series. Thus, he caught up with Federer's record, who wrote on Instagram on this occasion: “I have always respected my friend Rafa very much as a person and as a champion. As main rivals over the years, we have pushed each other to become better.. Therefore, it is a great honor for me to congratulate him on winning the 20th Grand Slam title..

It is especially surprising that he won Roland Garros insane 13 times, which is one of the greatest achievements in the history of sports.. Also congratulations to his team, because no one is capable of this alone.. I hope 20 is just another step on the path of each of us. Bravo, Rafa. You deserved"

Federer, 39, won his last Grand Slam title at the 2018 Australian Open.

For 34-year-old Nadal, this victory was the first at the Grand Slam tournaments this year.. Last season, he won victories at the same Roland Garros and the US Open.
