纳达尔连续第五次法网夺冠

 
Spaniard Rafael Nadal has proven again he is the king of clay in men's tennis, after defeating Serbian Novak Djokovic to win his fifth-straight French Open championship.

The top-ranked Nadal dropped the first set on  Sunday in Paris, but rebounded for a 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 victory.

The win pushed his all-time record at the French Open to 66-1 with nine titles.  His 14 career Grand Slam victories trail only Switzerland's Roger Federer.

Djokovic, the number two player in the world, has won five Grand Slam titles of his own, but has never won the French.  He also lost to Nadal in the 2012 final. 

In the women's draw, Russian Maria Sharapova outlasted Romanian Simona Halep Saturday to win her second French Open championship in three years.
