Nadal verus Puerta
Rafael Nadal was crowned the undisputed king of clay on Sunday, beating unseeded Argentine Mariano Puerta 6-7, 6-3, 6-1, 7-5 in a rousing French Open final.
The 19-year-old Spaniard recovered from losing a lung-busting opening set, rattled through the next two and then held off a brave Puerta fightback to claim his first Grand Slam title.
