Nadal wins first tourney of season‎


 Rafael Nadal pronounced himself "a lucky guy" after sweeping to a seventh straight title at the Monte Carlo Masters as he dispatched fellow Spaniard David Ferrer 6-4, 7-5 on Sunday.

"It would have been impossible to imagine a few years ago winning seven titles here," Nadal said after a victory in 2 hours 16 minutes, his 12th of 16 against his good friend. "I'm a lucky guy to have done this by age 24.

"Thanks so much to the life, I'm really enjoying everything."

Nadal won a 30th clay court trophy, tying him for third place in the post-1968 Open era with Bjorn Borg and Spain's Manuel Orantes. The victory was revenge for Ferrer's straight-sets win over Nadal in an Australian Open quarter-final three months ago.
