Rafael Nadal put up a clay-court masterpiece to annihilate World No. 1 & top seed Novak Djokovic 6-0; 6-2; 7-5 in a performance for the ages; making a mockery of this supposedly-close contest en-route to his 13th French Open crown and tying the record with Roger Federer for 20 Grand Slam titles overall.
Displaying relentless groundstrokes; an awesome defence; and a minimal of unforced errors; the Spanish matador bamboozled his opponent with a near-flawless display; leaving the in-form Serb looking befuddled on the court. Of particular note was his high moon-looking balls to save him from trouble; his patented inside-out forehand that was imperious; and his overall temperament that allowed him to regain control when things looked slightly dodgy in the third set.
So now the question is: who is better? Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal?
