Djokovic vs. Nadal - Monte Carlo (clay) Rolex Masters 2009 Final Highlights

What an match!!!



All cred too Nadal, but Nole shows he´s got the game to take out Nadal on clay. Some shots were spectacular.

Reigning ATP World Tour Champion Rafael Nadal captured his fifth straight Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters title on Sunday with a 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 victory over third seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia in two hours and 44 minutes to extend his winning streak to 27 matches at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 clay-court tournament.

While were all waiting impatiently for the beginning of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament in Rome, lets remind ourselves how everything was a week ago in Monte Carlo finals.

We made a video with 25 most beautiful points from the match in which Nole and Rafa showed all the beauty of the grand sport.



Nadal:
Novak is a very good player on clay too, he has very good results. I think top three or top four on clay. Whenever you play against him it is tough. And today wasn't an exception.


Djokovic:
I think I've played a very good match, actually one of the best I have played against him on this surface.

We are coming back again to the story of believing in yourself. I think there is where the key of playing him. You just have to be focused every single point because you have a player on the other side of the net that doesn't really give you any points.
I mean, you could see him at 5-1 in the third set, he played like its 5-all. He really doesn't care about the result. He just wants to give his best every single point. That's why he's very unique and that's why he's the best now.

Nadal se corona en Roma alvencer a djokovic

Novak Djokovic reventó su raqueta contra el suelo. Más que un gesto de rabia, fue la imagen de su frustración. Rafael Nadal le ha ganado el torneo de Roma (7-6 [2], 6-2) jugando un tenis serio, muy formal, podría decirse, pero con un punto de burocrático, de gestión del esfuerzo pensando en citas futuras. El número uno del mundo tuvo lagunas impropias de su fama: desaprovechó un punto de set al resto para ganar la primera manga (5-3). Por dos veces sacó para apuntarse ese set, y en las dos ocasiones vio cómo el serbio le rompía el servicio. Al contrario que la abrumadora mayoría de los mejores tenistas del mundo, que no acudieron al torneo Godó, Nadal lleva tres semanas seguidas jugando. En las tres, con la maleta dando tumbos entre Montecarlo, Barcelona y Roma, el español siempre ha acabado reinando. Nunca, sin embargo, ha ofrecido su mejor versión. A un suspiro del master de Madrid y justo antes de Roland Garros, que arranca el 24 de mayo, el número uno del mundo intenta dosificar esfuerzos mientras sigue engordando sus estadísticas. Ya ha ganado cuatro veces en Roma. Nadie lo había conseguido antes
