World number 1, Rafael Nadal has become the first man to win two titles six or more times by winning the Barcelona Open. The Spanish top seed, with 34 consecutive victories on clay, repeated his victory a week ago when he beat Ferrer for a seventh Monte Carlo trophy. Nadal improved to a phenomenal 31-2 in claycourt finals with his only two losses coming to Roger Federer at Hamburg in 2007 and Madrid two years ago. Nadal's comprehensive victory was his 13th in 17 matches played against Ferrer, defeating David Ferrer 6-2 6-4.
Nadal, the reigning French Open champion, has not lost on clay since going out to Robin Soderling in the fourth round at Roland Garros in 2009. Over the course of his 34-match unbeaten clay run, Nadal has won 76 of 79 sets. He lost just 21 games during the week in Barcelona.
I have an instinctive feeling that Nadal will be the greatest male tennis player of all time.
C'MON RAFA!!!
YOU HAVE ONCE AGAIN BEEN SERVED BY TENNIS NEWZZ!!!
