After warming up for the French Open in style by beating world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the Rome Masters final on Sunday, Rafael Nadal said he is heading to Roland Garros with confidence in search of a 21st Grand Slam title.

“I have been improving this week, but I need to keep going with that improvement, because when you improve, you feel more confident and safe,” Nadal said.

Victory in Rome saw Nadal equal Djokovic’s tally of 36 ATP Masters 1000 trophies.
