Roll call: Roland-Garros 2018 champions

Is there a higher rank than king of clay?

Rafael Nadal beat Dominic Thiem 6-4 6-3 6-2 with the sort of regal dominance he has now shown 11 times at Roland-Garros. The only thing that overcame him on the day was emotion. As he held the Coupe des Mousquetaires aloft to show off to a packed Court Philippe-Chatrier, his eyes brimmed. It was incroyable, he said. The undecima. It happened.
