At the French Open, there's just no one better than Rafael Nadal.

The "King of Clay" proved that again June 8, winning the title at Roland Garros for the ninth time, and the fifth time in a row, by beating Novak Djokovic 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 in the final.

Nadal is 66-1 at the clay-court major, and now has a winning streak of 35 straight games there. He also became the first man to win the same Grand Slam title nine times.

"For me, playing here in Roland Garros is just unforgettable, forever," Nadal said on court. (AP)
