Rafael Nadal beats Novak Djokovic in French Open final for record-tying 20th grand slam title

Rafael Nadal tied Roger Federer with 20 grand slam titles on Sunday by defeating Novak Djokovic in the French Open final.

Nadal equaled longtime rival Federer for the most major singles tennis championships won by a man and added to his own record with his 13th French Open win. The 34-year-old dominated the No. 1-ranked Djokovic 6-0, 6-2, 7-5. 

With his win, Nadal is now 100-2 at the French Open, including a combined 26-0 in the semifinals and finals. He's now won the French Open four consecutive times.

Nadal is now even with Federer for the first time since the two had zero grand slams to their names in 2003. Before Sunday's loss, Djokovic had won 14 of the last 18 meetings against Nadal and led 29-26 overall.
