Twitter Bows Down As "King Of Clay" Rafael Nadal Trumps Novak Djokovic In French Open Classic
Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic in a four-set thriller on Wednesday to stay on course for a 14th French Open title and a record-extending 22nd Grand Slam triumph.

However, the veteran Spaniard came back strong to win the next two sets and keep up his incredible record in the tournament.
