\"nadalexcitedafterthematchwithdjokovic\"Paris:<\/strong> Nine-time Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal became the eighth player in tennis history to record 200 Grand Slam match wins on Thursday in Paris.<\/p>\n

The ‘King of Clay’, who will celebrate his 30th birthday on 3 June, improved to 200-30 lifetime at the four major championships by beating Facundo Bagnis 6-3, 6-0, 6-3 in one hour and 46 minutes for a place in the third round. He committed 18 unforced errors.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, rising star Borna Coric prevailed 3-6, 6-2, 7-6(4), 7-6(6) against 20th seed Bernard Tomic on Thursday at Roland Garros. Coric, No. 47 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, erased a set point during the fourth-set tie-break to avoid a fifth set.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev upset the home crowd by beating French wild card Stephane Robert 6-1, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4.<\/p>\n
