Rafael Nadal has owned the tournament since he started attending, winning seven of the last eight at Roland Garros. The Spaniard’s only loss ever at the French Open was in 2009 at the hands of Sweden’s Robin Soderling. In 2012, Nadal outlasted Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five-set final. (AP/Michel Euler)
