French Open 2020, Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal, Men's Final Match Highlights: Nadal wins 13th Roland Garros title

Swiatek, Nadal the French Open champions

On the women's side we had the first Grand Slam winner in the form of Iga Swiatek. On the men's it was a repeat of Rafael Nadal show for a staggering 13th French Open title. Pity that it had to come in front of a few fans but it is something afterall. With unpredictability of the year, we don't know which tournaments will go on. For now, let's cherish this - the way Nadal does his time in Paris. Au revoir!

Nadal on the podium

"Congratulations to everyone in Novak's team. Winning this year in Australia, Cincinnati and more now... I have had tough battles with you and hope to keep facing you for the next couple of years. All the best and good luck with the future."

"I want to again thank everyone for making this event possible. We are very lucky that we can keep playing our sport. Thanks for supporting this sport, organising this tournament."

"All the team, family who are not here. Without you nothing would be possible. Many many thanks for everything"

"For me winning here is out of my better thoughts. Super happy. This court is most important in my career. I have enjoyed special moments here and today I had one more. This year, we can't celebrate in a normal way. Merci beacoup! Hopefully in June we can celebrate in this stadium, Philippe Chatrier, with a full crowd."

Djokovic on the podium 

"Huge congratulations to Rafa, your team and family. What you've done on this surface is.. Today you showed you're King of the Clay. I am not pleased with how I played but I was overplayed. This situation is very tough and we're grateful to everyone who made this tournament possible. Thank you so much for that"

"Thanks to the public and everyone for all their support."

Nadal lifts the trophy aloft after Djokovic collects the runners-up title. Spain's national anthem (one without words) rings around the stadium. A teary eyed Nadal in the middle of it

Nadal speaks to Fabrice Santoro:

"First of all, congrats to Novak for another great tournament. Sorry for today. He killed me in Australia. For me today, that's part of the game. One day he wins, the other day I do. Best of luck Novak for the future."

"After all the things I have gone through in my career, with injuries, without family and team, nothing will be possible. There are some at home who couldn't come for this. I want to send a message to everyone that we're facing a tough moment. Just keep going, stay positive, we will get through this and be winners."

"It has been a very tough year but a win here means everything to me. Today isn't about 20th Grand Slam, for me this is about the French Open title. I want to thank everyone - the organisation, the crowd. For me playing here is important, the relationship I have with this city.. Merci!"

100-2!

Rafael Nadal goes into the crowd to celebrate with his time. He now improves his record at French Open to 100-2. His first title came in 2005.
