Spains Rafael Nadal easily wins in Paris in straight sets

Rafael Nadal defeated Dominic Thiem 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 to win a record-extending 11th title at the French Open.

Nadal briefly interrupted the final in the third set because of a cramp in his left wrist.

Nadal becomes the second player in tennis history to win 11 singles titles at any Grand Slam tournament after Margaret Court, who claimed 11 Australian Open titles.

Nadal will remain at the top of the ATP rankings ahead of Roger Federer.

Nadal and Federer have won the past six Grand Slam tournaments between them.
