The French Open drew to a close with a familiar ending after Rafael Nadal won his 14th title.
The Spaniard, 36 and with a chronic foot injury, cantered to the ‘decimocuarto’ with a 6-3 6-3 6-0 win over Norway’s Casper Ruud.
Here, the PA news agency looks back at day 15 at Roland Garros.
It was a one-sided affair as Nadal swept side the eighth seed 6-3 6-3 6-0. From 3-1 down in the second set, the veteran reeled off 11 successive games to leave Ruud shellshocked. Victory came in two hours and 18 minutes.

Not much went right for Ruud on the day, but this deft backhand drop on the run was absolute class.
