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
