Spain's Rafael Nadal won the 14th French Open crown and the 22nd Grand Slam title after beating Norway's Casper Ruud 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 in the final on Sunday.

This is the first time Nadal has taken both Australian Open and French Open in the same year.

Nadal had won the Australian Open earlier this year to break the three-way Grand Slam tie with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, taking his tally to 21 titles.

The eighth-seeded Ruud is 23 and never had been past the fourth round at any major tournament until now.
