Rafael Nadal Wins 7th Straight Monte Carlo Final

Rafael Nadal breaks a new record by winning his seventh straight Monte Carlo Masters title on Sunday (April 17).

The 24-year-old tennis star beat David Ferrer 6-4, 7-5 in an all-Spanish final. He ended a run of three consecutive defeats in title matches, making this his first tournament victory since October.

“To start the clay season like this is fantastic, but it’s more fantastic to win Monte Carlo another time,” Nadal said. “This is the Masters tournament where I feel more emotion when I’m playing, because here in 2003 everything starts. I played qualifiers here, won two matches and was for the very first time in my career top 100.”
