It’s a bird, it’s a plane...no, it’s Rafael Nadal.
He went and did it. La Decima. On a much-anticipated Sunday which turned out to be an anti-climax, Stan Wawrinka was utterly blown away 2-6, 3-6, 1-6 to complete a decade of Rafael Nadal domination. 10 French Open titles. Without doubt, there is only one King of Clay and that is Rafael Nadal.
His peers and former greats all stood up to applaud in unison.
And the fans couldn’t get enough of this astounding achievement.
Nadal obviously had something to say about it....
But Nike had the last word.
