Stifled Stan bows to king of clay

PARIS - Until Sunday, Stan Wawrinka had an unblemished record in Grand Slam finals - but then he had never faced Rafa Nadal in a final in the Spaniard's favorite arena at the French Open.

The Swiss, who beat Nadal in the 2014 Australian Open final, was dismantled 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 on Sunday as Nadal won his 10th Roland Garros title.

"He's playing the best he's ever played," the third-seeded Wawrinka said of Nadal in his post-match news conference.
