Rafael Nadal is the French Open champion again after beating rival Novak Djokovic in the final. It’s the record ninth crown at Rolland Garros for Nadal, the top-ranked player in the world.

Our generation has been so spoilt with The likes of Rafa, Novak & Fed running around. Another classic final on the cards! #FrenchOpenFinal

Nadal has gone into Nadal mode. He's switched the Nadal switch and is now Nadaling all over the place. #FrenchOpenFinal

The upgrade from David Gregory to Rafa Nadal on my TeeVee is like going from Harold Miner to Jordan. No, too mean to Harold Miner.

Weirdly, I'd regard this match as a flat-footed tie had Nadal won that set easily. More prolonged set = prolonged match = Rafa's happy place

This is the 7th GS final meeting for @RafaelNadal & @DjokerNole. Djokovic won Wimbledon'11, USO'11, & AO'12. Nadal: USO'10, RG'12 & USO'13.

ON THE LINE: #Djokovic overtakes #Nadal as World No.1 (1st time since Sept 2013) if he wins today. Otherwise, #Nadal retains top spot #RG14

#FrenchOpen Djokovic takes a 2-1 lead in the first set vs Nadal.
