PARIS, June 5 —Rafael Nadal won a 14th French Open and record-extending 22nd Grand Slam title today with a straight-sets rout of Casper Ruud to become the oldest male champion at Roland Garros.
In a disappointing final, 36-year-old Nadal won 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 with victory coming 17 years to the day since he claimed his first French Open as a 19-year-old in 2005.
Nadal is now two Slams ahead of old rivals Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. — AFP
