Рафаэль Надаль уже взял моду праздновать на Ролан Гарросе
Paris. Rafael Nadal has made a habit of celebrating at Roland Garros, and it's not just because his June 3 birthday falls during the French Open.
This year, he is focused so squarely on winning a record seventh French Open that he couldn't even remember exactly when he will turn 26. "When is my birthday?" Nadal said on Thursday after being asked if he had anything special planned. "I don't know the day."
When you play on clay like Nadal, the only date to remember is the day of the French Open final, and that's exactly a week later this year. "Difficult to celebrate ... when you are in the middle of the tournament, but sure, I'm going to go for dinner with the team," Nadal said. "I don't know if some family going to come.
I don't know yet." The second-seeded Nadal improved his French Open record to 47-1 on Thursday, beating Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan 6-2, 6-2, 6-0. If he wins five more matches, he will break the record of six French Open titles he shares with Bjorn Borg.
