Nadal maintains supremacy on clay

Rafael Nadal continues to prove the clay court nemesis of the world’s top player Roger Federer as he clinched victory in today’s final of the Monte Carlo Masters.

Spain’s Nadal was too good for Federer in the principality, wrapping up a 6-4 6-4 win.

Switzerland’s Federer is the undoubted master of all other surfaces but Nadal is the king on clay, claiming his 67th consecutive win on the surface.

Nadal’s liking for the slow surface is in contrast to Federer who still needs to win the French Open if he is to complete his set of grand slam titles.
