The French Open final at Roland Garros was rocked by a court invasion on Sunday.
A protestor carrying a lit flare interrupted the clash between Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer.
Nadal won the final 6-3 6-2 6-3.
It is his eighth French Open title and 12th Grand Slam crown.
Ferrer, who is 31, was playing in his first Grand Slam final.
He has won just four of his 24 meetings with Nadal.
Serena Williams was crowned French Open ladies champion on Saturday.
She beat Maria Sharapova to claim her second Roland Garros championship and her first since 2002.
Serena beat her sister, Venus, in the final 11 years ago.
