Rafael Nadal has triumphed in the French Open, taking home his 14th Roland Garros championship and a record 22 grand slam trophies

The Spaniard fought hard against Casper Ruud, taking the win in straight sets 6-3, 6-3, 6-0.

At 36 years of age, this latest victory also makes Nadal the oldest to take the title win of a clay-court tournament.

People are now reminiscing on Nadal’s remarkable sporting history.

He first stunned fans when he claimed victory in Paris back in 2005 at just 19 years of age.

Now, Nadal holds the record for the most singles Trophies, with 14 from Paris.

He also holds the title for the most-grand slam titles.

This stellar resume sets him ahead of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

Nadal’s foot was noticeably giving him grief recently, with some speculations we could see the tennis star begin to slow down.

But Nadal has never been known to give up without a fight.

“I can’t keep going like this, but I am working to find a solution”
“It’s obvious that with circumstances that I am playing, I can’t and I don’t want to keep going, so the mindset is very clear. I’m going to keep working to try to find a solution and an improvement for what’s happening in the foot,”

Nadal is due to play at Wimbledon in three weeks, which at this stage, is all dependent on his injury.

Congratulations on your outstanding achievement @RafaelNadal!

It just goes to show that hard work, passion, and a “never give up” attitude really goes a long way. You have put your time, heart, and soul into this, and your perseverance made this #14. https://t.co/9oe3pfA054

RBA holds rates at 3.6%, shifting investor focus from property to potential stock market gains amid persistent inflation pressures.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has held interest rates at 3.6 percent, signalling a steady approach as inflation pressures persist and prompting investors to reassess their strategies in an uncertain climate.

The decision has shifted attention away from the property market, with experts suggesting the stock market may offer stronger opportunities, especially for those looking to outpace inflation over the long term.

We speak with Dale Gilham from Wealth Within about what the RBA’s call means for investors, why confidence in housing is changing, and what smarter financial choices look like in 2025.

U.S. retail sales weaken, raising concerns about consumer spending and economic resilience ahead of the holiday season.

Retail sales in the U.S. have unexpectedly weakened, raising new questions about consumer strength and the resilience of the economy. As Americans pull back on spending, analysts are watching closely to see whether this signals a broader shift toward caution in the lead-up to the holiday shopping period.

The slowdown has amplified uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates, as policymakers weigh mixed economic signals against cooling demand. With some categories falling sharply, economists warn that faltering retail activity could ripple into GDP forecasts and overall market confidence.

Brad Gastwirth from Circular Technologies joins us to break down which categories were hit hardest, why shoppers are becoming more value-conscious, and what this means for the economy heading into 2025.
