Rafa Nadal swept aside Novak Djokovic to win the French Open for the 13th time. REUTERS/Christian HartmannRafael Nadal swept Novak Djokovic aside to win the French Open for the 13th time and equal Roger Federer’s record of 20 grand slam titles. The third set was at least competitive, and ensured Djokovic avoided his worst ever slam defeat, but this was unquestionably Nadal’s day. It was only the second love set in 56 matches between them and just the second for Djokovic at a slam since he was a fresh-faced 18-year-old. By the time he won another game, Nadal was on the brink of taking a two-set lead, which he duly did at the next opportunity.
