Rafael Nadal thrashed Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 6-1 in the final of the Barcelona Open. He has looked unstoppable in the clay-court season and has notched two titles in as many weeks. Notably, he has won 46 sets consecutively which in itself is a record.
During the semifinals, he had notched his 400th win on clay. He started as a favorite in the final. From the start, he looked in exquisite form and toyed with the 19-year-old Tsitsipas. His accurate forehands and powerful baseline game never allowed the youngster to settle.
Nadal has looked so dominant in the last two tournaments that it is tough to fathom if anyone can beat him on the surface. With the French Open just around the corner, the current World No 1 is fine-tuning his game in the runup to the second major.
