Rafa routs rueful Roger; Williams crushes Azarenka

Rafael Nadal continued his stunning run of form by crushing Roger Federer in little more than an hour to win the Internazionali d’Italia in Rome.

The Spaniard, competing in his eighth final in a row since making a comeback from a seven-month injury lay-off in February, raced to a 6-1 6-3 win in one hour and nine minutes to claim his third straight title and sixth of 2013.
