PARIS — Experience vs. youth. It was an age-old argument on display in the men’s final at the French Open on Sunday, but in the end, Rafael Nadal easily beat Casper Ruud of Norway for the title.
Nadal extended his incredible tally of victories in Paris to 14 — and set another record with his 22nd Grand Slam title as well. Live updates from the match as it unfolded:
Nadal eases to the title
That was straightforward for Nadal, as he sees off Ruud 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 here in Paris. In a match that lasted only 2 hours and 18 minutes, Nadal looked comfortable. There was a shaky spell at the start of the second set, but aside from that hiccup, Nadal was in control.
