Nadal wins at Monte Carlo for the 9th time!!!! (It is his 28th Master 1000 equalizing Djokovic in his 100th final) and his 9th Conde de Godó equalizing the Argentinian Guillermo Vilas as the player with the highest number of tournements on clay court ever.
He has just defeated Gaël Monfils in the final 7-5, 5-7, 6-0 in a really tough match.
CONGRATULATIONS, RAFA!!!

Rafael Nadal sees off Gaël Monfils to win Monte Carlo Masters final (The Guardian)
The clay season is just awaiting!!!!
Rafael Nadal is the best Spanish tennis player in history. After having an injury and being accused of doping by the former minister Roselyne Bachelot, Nadal showed again that he is in shape. He hadn't won any Masters title in two years until he defeated Monfils in Monte Carlo final. Nadal prevailed to Gael Monfils 7-5, 5-7, 6-0 after two hours and 46 minutes of macth. The match was a real battle, because of its intensity and duration. Both Rafa and Gael Monfils had a great physical and mental exhaustion during the macth.He has won nine times the Monte Carlo including this latest victory.
ResponderEliminarNowadays, Nadal is in the fifth position in the world rankings like the fifth best tennis player currently. Even so, I think Rafael Nadal is the best tennis player, even better than Djokovic. Now, Nadal should focus in the Next Grand Slam, The Roland Garros. It is his favourite Grand Slam so he would like to win it again. If Nadal trains a lot, he will win The Roland Garros, I think so.
In conclusion, Nadal is still one of the best tennis players in the world, maybe not as good as before but he's still good at tennis.
