Rafael Nadal is a Monte Carlo Master

Spain’s Rafael Nadal makes history by winning the Monte Carlo Masters title five times in a row on Sunday (April 19).

The 22-year-old defeated Serbia’s Novak Djokovic (blue shirt) 6-3 2-6 6-1 to retain his trophy. “Everyone can improve in every surface, no? No one is perfect. Sure, I can improve,” Rafael said. “I always work to improve because when you feel you can’t improve, it’s difficult to wake up and go on court and practice.”

“This tournament I didn’t serve very well. Especially the second serve was sometimes 120 kph (74 mph). So that’s [a] disaster,” Rafael said. “Yeah, I have to play more. Have to serve better.”
