Rafael Nadal earned his second title of the season and his fourth on
grass as he defeated Serb Viktor Troicki 7-6 (7/3), 6-3 on Sunday to
become the first man to triumph on both clay and turf at the Stuttgart
Open.
Rafael Nadal set another minor record, as he won the
inagural grass edition after taking clay trophies here in 2005 and
2007. Stuttgart made the switch to grass starting with this edition as
part of the new Wimbledon pre-season.
Rafael Nadal's 66th career title
marked his second in 2015 after claiming a trophy on South American clay
last February. The Spaniard now owns two grass titles at Wimbledon plus
2008 Queen's Club, London and now Stuttgart.
Rafael Nadal's victory boosted him to 33-10 this season as he prepares for what
he hopes is a better second half of 2015. He is now 17-2 in Stuttgart,
where he last competed eight years ago
