Nadal clinches seventh French Open win

Rafael Nadal became the first man ever to win seven French Open titles as he defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4 6-3 2-6 7-5 in their rain-delayed final at Roland Garros.

The Spaniard, who has now surpassed Bjorn Borg, had trailed 2-1 in the fourth set when they resumed this afternoon following last night’s suspension but he immediately retrieved the break and clinched victory when Djokovic double-faulted.
