Sunday 11 October 2020 will undoubtedly remain in the history of sport: many records have been signed by characters who have rightfully entered the legend of competitions, so much the show that they have given a short distance to each other in different contexts. We are talking about Rafael Nadal and Lewis Hamilton.
Let's start with Rafael Nadal, who, annihilating Novak Djokovic, conquers the 13th Roland Garros, Sam on stage on the clay court of Paris. If no one can compare himself to Manacor's left-handed on this surface, it is equally true that this result allows him to equal Roger Federer in the calculation of the major tournaments won, as many as 20.
He will probably have the opportunity to surpass him, the Swiss, since his age is on his side and his determination and stubbornness still seem those of a little boy. All that remains is to applaud, therefore, the skills of the Spanish tennis player, in front of whom not even a robot like Djokovic could do anything, so much so that he could not find any way to counter the opponent in the first two sets.
The number of Grand Prix wins in Formula 1 by Lewis Hamilton is also sensational. On the German Nurburgring circuit, the British, with his unbeatable Mercedes, wins the 91st GP in the top car category and reaches none other than Michael Schumacher at the top of the all time standings.
It is clear that it is a matter of very little time for the British driver of Caribbean origins to overcome this figure as well and travel alone to the top of this special ranking. The son of the great German champion, Mick, on the launch pad in Formula 1, congratulated the new record holder saying that "Records are meant to be broken".
