Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal, number 3 in the world, achieved his tenth title in the Masters 1000 in Rome by beating Serbian Novak Djokovic, number 1, 7-5, 1-6 and 6-3.
In the 57th match between both tennis players, the sixth in the final of the Roman tournament, the Majorcan won. The win adds his 36th title in Masters 1000 tournaments, the second category after the Grand Slam, matching Djokovic’s record. In addition, he sealed his second title of the year, after which he got in Barcelona.
It was almost three hours of tough battle between two of the big stars of the men’s tennis circuit (2h49), in which after a very equalized first set, which fell from the Spanish side, Nadal suffered a slump in his performance that Djokovic took to force the third set.
But when he painted the situation worse for Nadal, with 2-2 and a breaking ball for the Serbian, the Spaniard regained his best level to not only maintain his service but break the next one to the Serbian and end up placing 5-2, obtaining an advantage that he knew how to manage until the end.
It is the tenth title of Nadal in Rome (2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2018, 2019 and 2021) that confirms the Spanish as a great favorite for Roland Garros (in two weeks), where he will try to conquer the title for 14 time.
