Another match on the terre battue, another milestone on the line as 10-time champion Rafael Nadal returned to his realm on Court-Philippe-Chatrier on Saturday. For now Bjorn Borg’s record of 41 straight sets at Roland-Garros would remain, but should the Spaniard stretch his astonishing unbeaten run against former junior rival Richard Gasquet, he stood to pass his own benchmark of 32 completed sets.
