Rafael Nadal demolished Novak Djokovic 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 to win his 13th French Open and equal Roger Federer’s all-time record of 20 Grand Slam titles on Sunday.
For world number one Djokovic, the defeat ended his hopes of an 18th Slam and of becoming the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to win the top four twice.
The 34-year-old Nadal achieved his 100th victory at Roland Garros against just two losses since his debut in 2005.
The Spaniard, the oldest champion in Paris since Andrés Gimeno in 1972, claimed the title without losing a single set.
