SUNDAY, APRIL 25- Following up his fifth straight title in Monte Carlo, Rafael Nadal won another fifth successive crown, this one at the Barcelona Open when he defeated fellow Spaniard David Ferrer 6-2, 7-5. The remarkable Nadal will also go for a fifth straight title at Roland Garros.
The 22-year-old Mallorcan clinched his 35th ATP World Tour title and his 24th on clay and extended his winning streak on dirt to 25 matches, with his last loss coming to Juan Carlos Ferrero in the second round of Rome last year, a tournament which begins on Monday. Nadal will open that event against the winner between Andreas Seppi and Sam Querrey.
