Rafael Nadal Wins His Fifth Rogers Cup Title

Rafael Nadal of Spain beats Daniil Medvedev of Russia 6-3, 6-0 in 70 minutes on Sunday at breezy IGA Stadium to win his fifth Rogers Cup title.
The 33-year-old won the event for the third time in Montreal. The first came in 2005 at age 19 over Andre Agassi, and the second in 2013. Nadal won in Toronto in 2008 and 2018.

Nadal has these amazing records to himself. 5th Rogers Cup Title, 35th Masters 1000 Title and 83rd ATP Title.




''I played a solid match, my best match of the week so far without a doubt,'' Nadal said. ''I did a lot of things well - changing directions, changing rhythms.''
''He was playing very well during the whole week. So for me, it was important in the beginning that he doesn't take advantage, because finals are always a little bit more difficult for everyone,'' Nadal said. ''I've played a lot of these. I know beginnings can be tricky, especially against a great player like him but especially when a player like him is playing with a lot of confidence like he was playing during the whole week.''

This was Medvedev first match against Nadal.

''I knew how it's going to be,'' Medvedev said. ''I was kind of ready for it. Then didn't manage to probably show my best tennis, but at the same time Rafa was incredible today. I need to see the match on the TV to say for sure, but congrats to him. I need to do better next time.''


Gael Monfils withdrew from semi finals match against Nadal because of an ankle injury.
