| Nadal wins eighth title in protest-hit Paris final Posted: 09 Jun 2013 08:43 AM PDT  PARIS, June 9 — Rafa Nadal made light work of fellow Spaniard David Ferrer to win a protest-interrupted French Open final 6-3 6-2 6-3 on Sunday and become the first man to win eight singles titles at the same tournament. Third seed Nadal, with a jaw-dropping 59-1 record at Roland Garros, collapsed on to the red clay after ending the contest on his first match point. The match was briefly interrupted in the second set when a bare-chested protester ran onto Court Philippe Chatrier after letting off a flare before being dragged out by security. The incident failed to derail Nadal, who prevailed after two hours 16 minutes in a one-sided final.— Reuters |
| Protesters, one letting off a flare, interrupt French final Posted: 09 Jun 2013 08:17 AM PDT  PARIS, June 9 — Four protesters, one letting off a flare, briefly interrupted the French Open tennis final between Rafa Nadal and fellow Spaniard David Ferrer on Sunday. Two bare-chested protesters stood up in one of the front rows behind the players' benches on court Philippe Chatrier at the end of the sixth game of the second set and one let off a flare. The protester with the flare, wearing a white mask, jumped over the tramline, ran on the court close to where Nadal was standing and was brought down by a member of security staff before being dragged out with his accomplice. Earlier, two other protesters had been pulled out of the stands by security. — Reuters |
