Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal won a 14th French Open and record-extending 22nd Grand Slam title on Sunday against Casper Ruud, becoming the oldest male champion at Roland Garros.

The 36-year-old Nadal won 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 with the victory coming 17 years to the day since he claimed his first French Open as a 19-year-old in 2005.

Nadal, the oldest winner in Paris since a 34-year-old Andre Gimeno in 1972, had not been certain of taking part after a chronic left foot injury, which has plagued him throughout his career, flared up again.

On the eve of the final, Nadal had said he would rather lose Sunday's match in exchange for a new foot.

His two-hour, 18-minute win on Sunday took his record at the tournament to 112 wins against just three losses.
