\"RafaelIf there was ever any doubt that the Spaniard Rafael Nadal<\/strong> was the most dominant clay court tennis player in the history of the game, it was put to rest on Sunday evening at Roland Garros when Nadal continued to make history by winning his 12th French Open championship (as we predicted<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Nadal defeated Dominic Thiem<\/a> in four sets, winning 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1<\/em>. <\/p>\n

The 25 year old Thiem was trying to win his first French Open championship but failed to put up much of a fight as it appeared that his 5 set semi-final battle with the number 1 seed Novak Djokovic took a lot of steam out of him. <\/p>\n

Rafael Nadal now has 18 Grand Slam wins<\/strong> to his name but 12 of those victories are at the French Open where he has proven to be unstoppable over the years. There have been concerns raised over the last few years as to whether Nadal will be able to continue his dominance given the fact that he is now 33 years old and is coming to the end of his career.<\/p>\n
