Stuart B: He may be a more graceful player but if Federer was the same age as Nole and Rafa he wouldn't have won 20, he had a head start against easier competition.
Alice Stainer: Rafael Nadal is a champion tennis player, no doubt. But he is also a champion man which, in the scheme of things, is almost more of an achievement. Endless congratulations.

'Nadal is so humble'
Naomi Broady
British player on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
I feel like Nadal can never fully accept that he's at the same level as Federer.
He has so much love and respect for Federer and will always class him as the best. Nadal is so humble.
I think Djokovic will catch the level of 20. Rafa has a few left in him as well, especially at Roland Garros if he plays at that level of tennis.

It shouldn't go unmentioned that today was Nadal's 100th match win at the French Open.
He's only lost two of those match. Yes, two...

All being well, the players will be back at the French Open in May. Who'd bet against Rafa making it 21 then? Not me.
'GOAT battle will be fascinating'
Leon Smith
GB Davis Cup captain on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
On today's form, Rafa looks physically in such good condition.
Djokovic being a year or two younger. He has years and years ahead of him and is able to do that across a number of surfaces as well.
It is going to be fascinating. It is interesting to hear Rafa play down the importance of the record to him.
Super happy'
Nadal continued: "For me winning here another time, I can't even say it is a dream.
"It is out of my thoughts. I am super happy. This court is the most important court in my tennis career.
"We are under very tough circumstances. In some ways it is not that happy because we cannot celebrate the tournament in a normal way.
"But anyway, thanks to all the fans for their support. I really hope that in a couple of months when we are back here we will be able to celebrate this amazing, beautiful new stadium with a full crowd."

Nadal said: "Another great year for Novak. What you are doing in tennis is something very special.
"It is honestly a pleasure to share this great era of tennis together even though we have had tough battles.
"I hope to keep facing you for the next couple of years. Congrats and all the best for the future."
'Two players couldn't have stopped Nadal today'
David Law
BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra tennis commentator
I didn't know whether he had that sort of level of tennis in him at the age of 34.
It is 15 years since he first won this thing. Here he is in his 30s playing utterly devastating tennis.
Novak Djokovic was made to lose. I don't think two players could have stopped Rafael Nadal today.
It is an absolutely massive moment in the sport that he has drawn level with Roger Federer.
"I want to say a huge congratulations to Rafa, your team and your family.
"What you are doing on this court is unbelievable and not just on this court
"Today you showed why you are king of the clay. I have experienced it.
"I am not so pleased with the way I played but I was definitely outplayed by a better player on the court today.
"It's been a fantastic couple of weeks. The situation is very difficult for everyone worldwide but we have the possibility to play the sport we love.
"Thank you to everyone who made this tournament possible."

Next up is the presentation. We'll be hearing from Djokovic shortly. He musters a smile as he's handed his runners-up trophy - not that I can see it because of his face mask.
