Sunday yesterday was a day to remember in ATP/WTA-1000 tennis event when we saw leading world class tennis players showing their form and fitness Rome just ahead of the French Open later this month.
In the men’s single category, two times Rome titlists simply outclassed seven times Rome champion and the defending champion Rafael Nadal of Spain 4-6, 6-3 and 6-3. Although Nadal broke Djokovic service many times in the first set to claim an early win, the Serbian was in no mood to give in and forced the defending champion to bow in front of him by taking the next two sets 6-3, 6-3 to lift the Rome trophy for the third time.

In the women category, it was Serena Williams prevailing like last year over her opponent – this time native Sara Errani 6-3 6-0 and winning her Rome Masters title. She has now won 60 WTA titles, moving her into seventh in the all-time list.
Djokovic and Serena now head Paris where they aim to win the third Grand Slam of the year: The French Open.
Is there anything for Nadal this year at French Open? Well for eight time champion, this year is going to be very difficult as he has lost to Serb three times in a row and his charisma seem to be fading.
