Djokovic beats Nadal again

Novak Djokovic maintained his unbeaten record in 2011 and landed his seventh title in an already astonishing year by defeating Rafael Nadal in the final of the Rome Masters this evening.

The Serbian has now won 39 consecutive matches – 37 this year – and will head to Roland Garros for the French Open in a week’s time as overwhelming favourite to add to the Australian Open crown he claimed in January.
