Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek were the champions in Paris, but what did we learn from two weeks of a drama-filled French Open? Nadal continues to defy everything Ad/> How? /> Roland-Garros'No one wants to miss Wimbledon' — Nadal aiming to continue Calendar Slam pursuit14 HOURS AGO How at the age of 36 years old has Rafael Nadal done it again? How he has won the same amount of French Open titles as Pete Sampras won Grand Slam titles? How has he won for a 14th time in Paris for the loss of just three sets, after hobbling and grimacing his way off court just a few weeks ago in Rome? How is he still so clutch in the big moments, such as when he was 6-2 down in the first-set tiebreak against Alexander Zverev? Or when he roared back in the fourth set to beat Novak Djokovic? How can he ever be written off again? And how much longer will he go on for? Nadal is defying expectations, Father Time and history like few others before him. His performance level and fighting spirit continues to be astounding, and the fact he is halfway to a Calendar Slam for the first time in his career, at his age and with his recent injuries, is remarkable.

Not letting yourself overanalyze is the hardest thing, says red-hot PolePARIS: Iga Swiatek was in full flight at Roland Garros this fortnight. Wings spread and soaring. Pressure? The wind beneath her wings perhaps. Swiatek, the world No. 1 who is riding tennis' hottest wave with 35 successive wins, the most in the women's game since 2000, won titles in Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart, Rome and now the French Open in Paris. The 21-year-old, with a growing endorsement portfolio is the game's poster girl for proficiency.
Gauff's first Grand Slam without homework. The 18-year-old, who graduated from high school last month, thought the high of finishing school helped her at a time when results were not exactly going her way on a tennis court. "This year (the first few months) my tennis results weren't where I wanted them to be, just having something like that moment (graduation) was good for me," the American said.
Rafael Nadal made it 14 wins from as many finals at Roland Garros after he defeated eight seed Norwegian Casper Ruud in the French Open men's singles final on Sunday. After taking the first two sets 6-3, 6-3, Nadal took his game to another level in third as he did not even drop a game, and wrapped up the final in two hours and 18 minutes. While social media was flooded with congratulatory messages for the 22-time Grand Slam champion, former India batter Wasim Jaffer also praised Nadal in his own witty style.
The French Open drew to a close with a familiar ending after Rafael Nadal won his 14th title.
SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. :Tennis ace Ash Barty promptly retired after winning the Australian Open this year, but compatriot Minjee Lee does not plan to follow suit, the 26-year-old from Perth said after winning the U.S. Women's Open golf championship on Sunday.
