The 36-year-old Spaniard, who has lost only three times at Roland Garros since his debut in 2005, now has two more majors to his name than Roger Federer and world number one Novak Djokovic. Nadal, seeded fifth, cruised through the opening set and bagged 11 games in a row after being broken early in the second.
He converted his second championship point with a backhand winner down the line to stay on track for the calendar Grand Slam after also winning this year’s Australian Open.Latest news from the world of sport, along with the best in opinion from our outstanding team of sports writers
