TENNIS : RAFAEL NADAL WINS ROME MASTERS; RETAKES WORLD NO. 1 CROWN BARELY ONE WEEK AFTER LOSING IT !
It seems, Roger Federer has got only to babysit the World No.1 crown just for a week.Tweet
Then, Rafel Nadal quickly retook it - - just like that.
The King of Clay, Rafa Nadal @RafaelNadal, pulled off a stunning turn-around victory over World No.3 Alexander Zverev overcoming a 1-6 loss in the Second Set - - and a final defeat dangerously staring at 1-3 in the Third Set decider - - in the rain-delayed Championship Finals at Rome Masters.
After more than two hours of battle on court - - and seemingly endless delays due to rain - - Nadal prevailed, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3, bagging a record 8th Title in Rome.
RAFAEL NADAL WINS RECORD 8TH TITLE AT ROME MASTERS,
RETAKES WORLD NO.1 CROWN.
By winning the Rome Masters Title, Rafael Nadal earned 1,000 points and retook the World No. 1 crown from Roger Federer @RogerFederer who barely wrestled it 'de facto' from Nadal last week.
With the French Open now just a smell away from Nadal, "The Raging Spanish Bull" looks absolutely unstoppable on clay.
