David Ferrer tried his best and broke Nadal three times in the match but all in vain. He could never open the door against king of clay. This result was expected and it is not so much surprising result. Nadal again proved himself best tennis clay court player in the history of the game. His grand slam tiltles are now 12, five behind Federer. He also becomes first man in tennis history to win a slam eight times.

He is now 59-1 at Rolland Garros. His records on clay will be impossible to break. Because Nadal is just 27 and he has to play more French opens as well as other clay court events. His losses on clay are just fraction as compared to his wins. Nadal is GOAT on clay, that's for sure.
