Rafael Nadal wins his 8th French Open title vs David Ferrer
Rafael Nadal has won at the 2013 French Open, besting David Ferrer 6-3, 6-2, 6-3, and secured his record eighth championship at Roland Garros. Nadal improved to an incredible 59-1 record at the French Open and reaffirmed his moniker as the "King of Clay."
With Nadal leading Ferrer by one set and having just held serve to open the second set, color guy and tennis legend John McEnroe said "This is like a heavyweight versus a welterweight." While that statement was exactly that -- color -- and a bit early at that, when it comes to Nadal on clay, he wasn't too far off.
