Nadal came back on court re-energised to sweep the final four games and claim victory for his 32nd Masters trophy. Nadal, who will return to the world number one ranking on Monday, remains the best clay-courter of the Open Era with an astonishing 408-36 record. He will next seek an 11th French Open crown to match the 11 he already owns from Monte Carlo and Barcelona. However, the 31-year-old insists that his impeccable clay court credentials will mean little when he heads to Paris for the second major of the season starting next Sunday. Nadal was 3-1 down at the first rain break in the final set but cut the gap on the resumption.
