Rafa Nadal Captures Record Ninth ROLAND-GARROS Crown
French Open: Rafael Nadal wins NINTH Roland Garros crown with four-set victory over Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard proved his dominance on clay once more at Roland Garros with a fifth successive crown and ninth title in all. Rafael Nadal has claimed a NINTH French Open crown with a four-set victory over Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros.
The Spaniard once more proved his mastery of both the clay court and the Serbian with a fifth successive French Open title, winning 3-6 7-5 6-2 6-4.
Sensationally, it was the 28-year-old's ninth win in 10 attempts - a fourth round defeat to Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009 the only blot on his copybook. All in, that leaves Nadal with a barely believable 66-1 record in Paris, which now includes six victories over Djokovic, whom he beat in the 2012 final also.
