Tennis legend Rafael Nadal reiterated his status as the "King of Clay", winning the French Open title for the 14th time on Sunday. The 36-year-old Spaniard defeated Casper Ruud, the first Norwegian to reach a Grand Slam singles final, in straight sets (6-3, 6-3, 6-0).With his latest victory at Roland Garros, achieved in 2 hours and 18 minutes, Nadal became the oldest man to win a French Open title.He broke the record held by Andres Gimeno (also from Spain), who was 34 years and 305 days old when he captured Roland Garros in 1972.Nadal's terrific win on Sunday was his 22nd Grand Slam title, extending his lead over Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who have 20 Grand Slams each.The Indian cricketing fraternity was in awe of the Spaniard after he lifted yet another French Open crown.

Earlier this week, he conceded that he wasn't sure how long he could continue.Speaking after yet another memorable win at Roland Garros, the Spaniard said:"I don't know what can happen in the future, but I'm going to keep fighting to try to keep going. For me, it's incredible to play here. It's an incredible feeling."Expressing gratitude to everyone who has helped him deal with injury issues over the years, he added:"I don't know what I would do in terms of injuries if it wasn't for the team, my family and everyone around me. I would've already retired much before if it wasn't for you."Nadal added about his French Open triumph on Sunday:"I never believed I would be here at 36, being competitive again, playing in the most important court of my career one more time in a final. It means everything to me. It means a lot of energy to try to keep going.”Nadal won his maiden French Open crown back in 2005, defeating Argentina’s Mariano Puerta 6–7(6–8), 6–3, 6–1, 7–5.
