Nadal wins 10th Monte Carlo title

Rafael Nadal won the Monte Carlo Masters for a record-breaking 10th time with a dominant 6-1, 6-3 defeat of Spanish compatriot Albert Ramos-Vinolas on Sunday.

The 30-year-old Nadal, who now has 50 clay court titles and 70 in all, will be aiming for a 10th French Open title as well next month.

“I cannot explain the feelings that I have,” Nadal said. “I had a tough start to the season. When I first played here in 2003 as a qualifier I reached the third round.

“Now, a lot of years later, this is something I could have never dreamt. Thanks to life for giving me this opportunity.”
