When Rafael Nadal's final shot at the French Open landed for a winner, his momentum and emotions sent him splaying backward onto the clay he loves. The champion quickly got up and headed for the net to collect his latest Roland Garros trophy.

Nadal became the first man to win eight titles at the same Grand Slam tournament June 9 when he beat fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in the final 6-3, 6-2, 6-3. The King of Clay broke the men's record for match wins at Roland Garros, where he improved to 59-1, with his lone defeat against Robin Soderling in 2009. (AP)
