From Morning Report, 8:52 am on 12 October 2020

Rafael Nadal's reign as the King of Clay Court tennis has rolled on in Paris after a comprehensive three-set win over Novak Djokovic in a heavyweight men's final of the French Open overnight.

Spanish great Nadal has tasted glory 13 times at Roland Garros - easily the most by any man or woman at any grand slam event. It also lifts him to 20 grand slam titles, equaling the record held by Swiss maestro Roger Federer.

Tennis correspondent Dave Worsley speaks to Susie Ferguson.
