APPRECIATING RAFAEL NADAL’S 9 ITALIAN OPEN TITLES

World number two, Rafael Nadal, who turns 33 in June, celebrated his ninth Italian Open title defeating world number one Novak Djokovic 6-0 4-6 6-1 in the Italian Open final in Rome.

In what was his 81st tournament win, the Spaniard raced through the opener in 39 minutes, the first 6-0 between the great rivals in 141 previous sets.

 

Djokovic battled back, but in the Rome sunshine, Nadal sealed his ninth Italian Open title in two hours, 25 minutes.

 

It takes him 34-33 ahead of Djokovic in Masters 1,000 Series titles.

 

Victory is a boost before the French Open for Nadal, who was beaten by Djokovic in the Australian Open final in January and had lost at the semi-final stage in his past four tournaments.

 

Since 2005, Nadal has won at least one of the nine Masters 1,000 events in a season every year except 2015.
