Rafael Nadal romped to a record 11th Monte Carlo Masters title by
brushing aside Kei Nishikori in Sunday's final to retain the world
number one ranking.
The 31-year-old saw off Nishikori 6-3,
6-2 to become the first man to win a tournament 11 times in the Open era
with his 76th ATP Tour triumph.
Rafael Nadal's 31st Masters title is also an outright record, pulling him out of a tie with Novak Djokovic.
The 16-time Grand Slam champion's era of utter dominance on clay looks
unlikely to end any time soon after Nadal took his run of consecutive
sets won on the surface to 36.
