The king of Spain Felipe VI was in the stands of Roland Garros on Sunday. So was Norway's Crown-Prince Haakon.

They had all come to see the King of Clay, Rafael Nadal. Nadal won his 14th French open title, beating Casper Ruud of Norway, 6-3, 6-3, 6-0.

The 36-year-old now has 22 Grand Slam titles, surging ahead of Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, who are tied at 20.
