Barcelona and Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas believes that Rafael Nadal is the "best sportsman" his nation has ever produced.

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas believes Rafael Nadal is "the best sportsman Spain has ever had".

Fabregas, who is currently with the Spanish squad at Euro 2012, was speaking after witnessing Nadal win the French Open title for a seventh time at the expense of Novak Djokovic earlier today.

"What a game by Rafa. I think he is the best sportsman Spain has ever had," Fabregas wrote on Twitter.

"Very happy for him. Congrats to Nole too. What a competitor!"

Nadal is the first player in the Open era to have won the title at Roland Garros seven times.
