| Nadal wins in Rome – Ties Agassi’s record 17 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles |
The “King of Clay” has drawn level with the retired Andre Agassi, who has held the record since winning his last Masters 1000 trophy in Cincinnati in 2004, age 34. World No.1 Roger Federer is in second place with 16 titles. “I am 23 and I’m sure 17 is a very important number for me,” said Nadal. “There are some tournaments coming up - Madrid is coming up soon – and so I’m going to try to keep winning, but these tournaments are very difficult and some of the best players in the world are there.” Rafa has dominated the European clay-season tournaments so far, but he hasn’t faced yet any of the Top 5 players in his way to both victories. It will be difficult, however, to bet against him on the red dirt. BetPhoenix offers you the best odds and the widest range of betting options in all Sport-Betting.

Rafa made it look easy, though, first in Monaco two weeks ago when he crushed Fernando Verdasco in the final to claim his 16th ATP World Tour Masters 1000, winning all his matches in straight sets. And then in Rome, where he only dropped one set – against Latvian Ernests Gulbis in the semi-final – In what was the best match of the tournament. As the winner, Nadal received 434,000 Euros and 1000 South African Airways 2010 ATP Ranking points, positioning himself for a spot in the elite eight-man field at the Barclays ATP World Finals in November. “The important thing is that I won a very important tournament and finally I am very happy,” Nadal said. “Probably I didn’t play as well as Monte-Carlo. I played well, but not as well as Monte-Carlo, but the important thing is winning.” Ferrer, who reached his first Masters 1000 final on Sunday, earned 203,000 Euros and 600 ranking points. His aggressive play made for a competitive first set in a match stopped twice because of the rain. “After the rain, the court was slower and of course Rafa is in form, especially in difficult moments and it’s difficult to beat him,” said Ferrer. “But I was pleased with my game.” Nadal won his fifth title in Rome (2005-2007 and last year defeating Novak Djokovic in the final), holding a staggering 27-1 record in the tournament. At just 23, Rafa tied Agassi’s 17-title record, there is no telling where he will take this mark before he’s finished with tennis. Next the “King of Clay” will try to win the Madrid Open trophy in his own country. He lost to Federer last year in the final.
