Spanish Tennis Player Rafael Nadal Wins His 12th French Open Title

The 33-year-old Spaniard has become the first player, man or woman, to win the same Slam 12 times after his victory over Austria's Dominic Thiem.

Rafael Nadal has won a historic 12th Roland Garros title and 18th Grand Slam crown with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 victory over Dominic Thiem.

Nadal is now just two Slams behind Roger Federer's all-time record of 20 majors and three ahead of Novak Djokovic who was stricken down by Thiem in the semi-finals.
