Rafael Nadal wins 6th Monte Carlo Masters

Rafael Nadal announced he is back to form on his best tennis surface by winning his sixth consecutive title at the 2010 Monte Carlo Masters. He last won a tournament in May 2009.

Rafa was in his old overpowering form as he demolished compatriot Fernando Verdasco in the finals 6-0, 6-1. He is the only player to win a tournament 6 years straight since 1968, when tennis became a professional sport.

Nadal is acknowledge as the best clay court tennis player of his generation, winning the ultimate clay tournament & grand slam French Open four successive times, 2005 - 2008. Last year he was beaten by Roder Soderling in the quarterfinals. Roger Federer became the eventual champion and completed a career grand slam.

He had been saddled with injuries for almost a year, no thanks to his brutal style of play. Now, he appears back in form. With this recent victory, Nadal looks to reclaim his King of Clay throne. Roger and company, look out. There would be no better final in Paris than defending champ Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal fighting it out in clay.
