ATP Masters Series 1000 Indian Wells - Men's Final
5 Rafael Nadal d 7 Juan Martin Del Potro - 46 63 64
Rafa came from a set and a break to notch a record 22nd Masters title.
This also marks a milestone as this was his 600th match victory.
Winning his 3rd title at Indian Wells ('07 & '09) moves him back up to #4.
But that will be temporary as he's not going to defend Sf points at Miami.
This was also his 1st hard court title since October 2010 at Tokyo.
Rafa's 4 tournament comeback swing sure was a success.
He made the final of all 4, winning 3 of them: Sao Paulo, Acapulco & IW.
And suddenly -poof- he's the tour leader in titles won.
This is the best start to a season he's ever enjoyed: 17-1.
We will next see him at Monte-Carlo where he is the 8-time defender.
Post match: A lot of things happened the last seven months, [so]
to be back here and to have this very heavy trophy with me is amazing.
Beating three Top 10 players and winning a title like this is just something
unbelievable for me. I'm very, very happy and very emotional.
Your Rafaholics were too. Trust.
