PARIS, FRANCE — Tennis fans around the world have taken to the streets in celebration as valiant king of clay Rafael Nadal justly vanquished lackluster foe Novak Djokovic in the French Open final, restoring hope to the downtrodden and banishing the forces of evil back to their dreary Serbian underworld.

Weighed down by his plague of scandals and a heavy load of bad karma, the disappointing Djokovic never looked capable of competing with the excellent Nadal, who looked all-powerful as he romped to a straight sets win and an unprecedented 13th French Open title.

"The match really did feel like it was a battle between good and evil," claimed ATP Tour journalist and world-renowned biblical scholar Benny Shapiro. "It's hard to remember a grand slam final where the support was so lopsided in favor of one player. Outside of the Balkans, I can't imagine a single person wanted Novak to win."

"This result could usher in a new era of peace and cooperation among all nations of the world. Except Serbia."

Inspired by the far-reaching global unity brought about by Nadal's gallant performance, several United Nations member states plan to introduce a resolution in the coming days to commend the Spaniard for his remarkable humanitarian efforts. The resolution is expected to pass the General Assembly with unanimous consent.

"Mr. Nadal is not only a national hero in Spain, he's a beacon of hope for the entire world," said Pedro Lorenzo-Francisco Santa Maria-Lopez, a senior aide to the Spanish UN ambassador. "Tennis is a simple, simple game as long as your heart is in the right place."

"If you don't hit balls at officials and don't infect other people with the coronavirus, you will win at Roland Garros."
