Rafael Nadal beats his countryman David Ferrer in straight sets to win eighth Roland Garros title in nine years to become the first man in history to win any grand slam eight times.
With this victory, Rafa also became the most successful player ever at Roland Garros, with 59 victories and just one loss to his name in nine years, the final wasn't as hard as the 5 setter semifinal for the younger Spaniard as he roared to 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 victory in two hours and 16 minutes.
Ironically Nadal will fall from number four to number five when the new world rankings are released on Monday, and more ironically he will lose it to his compatriot David Ferrer.
