Rafael Nadal's championship point-winning racket from his 2007 French Open final victory over Roger Federer was sold for more than $118,000 at an auction on January 29, ranking among the highest-priced such memorabilia.
Nadal beat Federer 6-3 4-6 6-3 6-4 in the 2007 final in Paris to win his third Grand Slam title before the Spaniard moved on to secure a further 19-14 of them at Roland Garros — becoming one of the sport's greatest players.
The racket, which Nadal also used in previous matches of the tournament, including his semi-final victory against Novak Djokovic, sold for $118,206 at an online auction, Prestige Memorabilia's The Tennis Auction, that closed on Monday at 0255 GMT.
