Rafael Nadal has defeated world number one Novak Djokovic in the French Open final to equal Roger Federer’s record of 20 Grand Slam titles.
The Spanish superstar and world number two beat his Serbian opponent 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 on Sunday, securing his record-improving 13th triumph at Roland Garros.
He is now tied with Federer, of Switzerland, as the player with the most men’s singles major titles.
When Nadal ended it with an ace, he dropped to his knees, smiled widely and pumped his arms.
He did not cede a set in his favorite tournament this year.
Nadal, No. 2 in the rankings, improved to 100-2 at the French Open, including a combined 26-0 in semifinals and finals, and picked up his fourth consecutive title in Paris.
