Nadal continues good run in Monte Carlo

Rafael Nadal continued his magnificent run in Monte Carlo with a fifth successive title as he beat Novak Djokovic six-three, two-six, six-one in yesterday’s final.



The world number one was pushed hard as Djokovic dominated the second set and had break points early in the third, before Nadal battled back to win.



At just 22, Nadal has now equaled Roger Federer’s mark of 14 tournament wins in the elite Masters 1000 Series.



Only Andre Agassi has won more, with 17 Masters titles.
