Concept
The French Open (Roland-Garros) is one of the four tennis Grand Slam tournaments and is the premier clay-court championship of the year. Identifying its yearly singles champions is a staple of current-affairs and sports general knowledge.
Application
The 2022 French Open Men's singles title was won by Rafael Nadal. In the final he beat Casper Ruud by 6-3, 6-3, 6-0. This was Nadal's record-extending 14th Roland-Garros crown and his 22nd Grand Slam singles title overall, underlining his standing as the most successful clay-court player in history.
