Rafael Nadal described his "joy" at winning a record 10th French Open after beating Swiss third seed Stan Wawrinka in the final.
The Spaniard, 31, won 6-2 6-3 6-1 to secure 'La Decima' at Roland Garros, and his 15th major title.
Nadal - who won without dropping a set in the tournament for the third time - said he could not have imagined such success when he first won 12 years ago.
He said: "In 2005, I thought in 2017 I'd be fishing on my boat in Mallorca."
Nadal added: "I didn't really think I'd have such a long career and win so many tournaments.
