Rafael Nadal won a record seventh French Open title after emerging a 6-4 6-3 2-6 7-5 victor in the final against Novak Djokovic, rained off on Sunday at Roland Garros.
Last year Nadal, who has now won 52 matches at Roland Garros and lost just one, equalled Bjorn Borg’s record of six wins on the Paris clay. On Monday he became the greatest player the tournament has seen.
By contrast Djokovic was denied a career Grand Slam and also the chance to become the first player since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four Slam titles simultaneously.
