Rafael Nadal Dominates Novak Djokovic To Win Ninth French Open Title

At 28 years of age, Rafael Nadal, has done it all, yet that hasn't stopped him from setting record after record. Known for his French Open performances, he was hoping to add to that legacy in his latest final against the superb Novak Djokovic, and he certainly did just that. He coped with the hot weather as he won 3-6 7-5 6-2 6-4 in three hours and 31 minutes. The two are known for being the world's best tennis players, and they certainly put on a show to back that up.

Nadal has now won the French Open nine times, taking his Grand Slam total to 14. This win will keep Nadal at No. 1 in the world rankings too. He was as ecstatic as ever, saying "In matches like this every moment is crucial. Playing against Novak is always a big challenge, I had lost against him the last four times. I feel sorry for him today, he deserves to win this tournament."

Novak praised Nadal, saying "Congratulations to Rafa and his team, it is incredible to win this tournament nine times. It was an emotional day. I have tried with all my power, my strength, my capacities but Rafa was the strongest on court." At least both champions have a way with words after both winning and losing finals.

Will Nadal add to his growing legacy, and can Novak get one over him at Wimbledon this summer?
