PARIS—Rafael Nadal brutally crushed Casper Ruud on Sunday to lift a record-extending 14th French Open trophy and increase his lead at the top of the list of men’s Grand Slam champions.
There was a sense of deja vu as the Spaniard, who turned 36 on Friday, swept aside Norwegian Ruud 6–3 6–3 6–0 on a balmy afternoon in Paris to ensure he has won every time he has reached the final at the claycourt Grand Slam.
