And on the second day, Nadal won number seven

Rafael Nadal described his record-setting seventh French Open triumph as an "unforgettable" moment after the Spanish world No 2 defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 in Monday's final.

Victory took Nadal past the six Roland Garros titles he shared with Swedish legend Bjorn Borg and his career majors total to eleven.

"It is an honor and for me the most important tournament, the greatest in my eyes," said Nadal.
