Rafael Nadal beats Novak Djokovic to win French Open

By Semi Turaga

12/10/2020

Rafael Nadal produced one of his finest French Open displays to stun Novak Djokovic and equal Roger Federer's record of 20 Grand Slam men's titles.

Spanish second seed Nadal outclassed world number one Djokovic in a 6-0 6-2 7-5 win, which clinched a record-extending 13th title at Roland Garros. Questions had been asked about 34-year-old Nadal's level, but he responded with an almost flawless performance.

Top seed Djokovi lost a completed match for the first time in 2020.
