Tennis News ; Nadal beats Djokovic to capture tenth Rome Masters title

Rafael Nadal claimed his tenth Rome Masters title after completing a three-set win over Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final. Nadal broke top seed Djokovic's serve in the 11th game before serving out the opening set, 7-5. But defending champion Djokovic, who was chasing a sixth Rome title, dominated the second set, breaking twice on the way to taking it 6-1. Second seed Nadal produced a break to love in the sixth game of the deciding set though. Although Djokovic saved a match point in the eighth game, the world number one could not avoid a 7-5, 1-6, 6-3 defeat. It was Nadal and Djokovic's sixth meeting in the Rome final, with the former now victorious on four occasions. The Spaniard also improved his career record against Serbian Djokovic to 28 wins and 29 defeats from 57 meetings.
