Rafael Nadal beats Stan Wawrinka to win the tournament for a 10th time

Spain's Rafael Nadal made history by winning a record 10th French Open title with victory over Stan Wawrinka in the Paris final.
Nadal, 31, came through 6-2 6-3 6-1 against the Swiss third seed to claim his 15th major title.
He becomes the first man or woman in the Open era to have won a Grand Slam tournament 10 times.
Wawrinka, 32, was beaten in a major final for the first time after winning his first three.
Relive Rafael Nadal's win over Stan Wawrinka as it happened
Nadal moves above Pete Sampras on the list of all-time Grand Slam winners into second place behind Roger Federer, who beat the Spaniard to win his 18th at the Australian Open in January.
Securing a 10th title in Paris - La Decima - further entrenches Nadal's place as the greatest clay-courter in history.
Congrats to "the King of the Clay" and his family.
