Nadal Wins Montreal Open in Canada. The 27-year-old Spaniard needed just 68
minutes to crush Raonic 6-2, 6-2 and claim
his eighth title of 2013. Sunday’s win completes Nadal’s victory in
48 out of 51 matches since returning from
injury in February. A rampant Nadal dropped just one point on
serve in the opening set, and Raonic could
not defend his own usually formidable
delivery with a first serve percentage of
just 50%. Two breaks saw the Spaniard race through
the first set and when Raonic double-
faulted at break point down early in the
second, the game was as good as up. The second set followed a similar pattern to
the first as Nadal gained the insurance of a
second break in game seven, and he served
out to claim the 25th Masters title of his
career.
