Rafael Nadal's 2007 French Open winning racquet sells for $118K at auction

Rafael Nadal's championship point-winning racquet from his 2007 French Open final triumph over Roger Federer has fetched an impressive sum of over $118,000 at an auction on Monday. This sale places the item among the highest-priced pieces of tennis memorabilia ever auctioned.

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.
