French Open 2022 Final, Live Score Updates: Rafael Nadal is already on the charge against Casper Ruud as he took the first set 6-3 in the ongoing French Open men’s singles final at Court-Phillipe Chatrier in Paris. Nadal broke Ruud twice in the first set to take the early bragging rights in this contest. The odds are against Ruud as the 21-time Grand Slam winner has never lost a French Open final. If Nadal manages to win the contest, then he would register a record-extending 14th Roland Garros win and he would also take his Grand Slam tally to 22. Earlier this year, Nadal had won the Australian Open to break the three-way Grand Slam tie with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, taking his tally to 21 titles. If Nadal manages to win the French Open, then this would be the first time that he would have taken both Australian Open and French Open in the same year.
In the semi-final, Alexander Zverev was forced to retire midway during the second set and hence Nadal made it to the final. On the other hand, Ruud outclassed Marin Cilic in the semis.
