French Open 2017

Make it 10 French Open titles for Rafael Nadal, the undisputed king of Clay. Nadal wrapped up his record 10^th French Open title and claimed his 15^th Grand Slam title by battering third seeded Stan Wawrinka in straight sets 6-2, 6-3, 6-1. It took the fourth seeded Nadal just over two hours to win, with the Spaniard sealing it on his second match point when Wawrinka sliced a backhand volley into the net.

Nadal did not drop a set all tournament on his way to his 15th Grand Slam title overall. Wawrinka smashed his racket after giving up two set points and the fourth-seeded Nadal sealed it on his first, when the Swiss player returned long.  It was the Swiss player's 17th unforced error. Nadal, who had taken the first set 6-2, broke early in the second and stretched his winning run of games to seven before Wawrinka managed to get on the board again. Nadal dominance at Roland Garros remains unmatched.

In Saturday's women's final,  unseeded Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia used bold strokes and an unbending will to come back and stun No. 3 Simona Halep 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in an enthralling French Open final for the first title of her career. Ostapenko, ranked only 47th and just two days past her 20th birthday, became one of the most unlikely Grand Slam champions in tennis history. She also denied Halep what would have been her first major championship and the No. 1 ranking.
