Rafael Nadal Wins Sixth Barcelona Open Title
Nadal Beats Ferrer in Second Straight Final
On Sunday, Spanish tennis great Rafael Nadal won his sixth Barcelona Open title by defeating fellow Spaniard David Ferrer 6-2, 6-4.
"It is a dream for me to win here six times," said Nadal. "I think it will be difficult to repeat. Six years is a long time in the life of a tennis player."
Rafa's Sunday victory represented his 29th straight match win at the clay-court event.
It also represented Nadal's second straight trophy, after having beaten Ferrer in the Monte Carlo final just a week before.
"I feel bad for David because no one deserves to win here more than him for what it means to him and the work he has put in to reach three finals," said Nadal, who is 5-0 against Ferrer in finals matches.
Nadal is now the first player of the Open Era to win two different tournaments six or more times, having won Monte Carlo seven times.
