Barcelona ATP 500 - Final
1 Rafael Nadal d 4 David Ferrer - 62 64
Second Sunday in-a-row these 2 have played - David has yet to take a set.
Last weekend's Monte-Carlo scoreline entertained a closer contest: 64 75.
Spare a thought for David - it's just gotta sting, no?
Rafa becomes the only Open Era man to have won 2 events 6 or more times.
King of Clay: 7 titles at M-C, 6 at Barcelona, 5 at Rome and Roland Garros.
Those numbers just keep getting sicker with every passing year.
Rafa is also throwing down a 34 match winning streak on clay.
With his Sf win Rafa joined the exclusive 500 club; he's now 501-105.
At only 24 he is the 2nd youngest to get to 500 behind Bjorn Borg, also 24.
Rafa: It's a very special tournament.
It always has been as I grew up watching this tournament.
It's a historical tournament with a great tradition and great champions.
It's more than a dream to win here six times.
Rafa will take a week off before heading to Madrid where he is the defender.
So far he has seen off all clay challengers...
Things may get interesting in Spain. Can Novak offer resistance on the dirt?
Stay tuned.
