It did not take Nadal long to successfully defend his French Open title Sunday today when he confronted his fellow countryman David Ferrer in the 'All Spanish' final of the Roland Garros.
Nadal's straight three sets win - 6-3 6-2 6-3 over Ferrer was not only a record eighth French Open title, but also a befitting tribute to his dominance on clay.
His 59th match win also takes him past Roger Federer and Guillermo Vilas at Roland Garros, while his 12th major title moves him above Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver on the all-time list.
However, the final was marred by a brief protest high in the stands during the second set that was quickly followed by an intruder leaping onto the court while brandishing a flare - something that never happens in Grand Slam event's final.
