Rafael Nadal wins Montreal Rogers Cup

It was a one sided final at Montreal Roger Cup last night as world no.4 Spaniard Rafael Nadal beat his Canadian opponent Milos Raonic 62 62.

This was Rafa's 25th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown.

This also dashed any hopes of the Canadian Raonic of ending a 55-year title drought at the country’s biggest tennis tournament.

It may be recalled that Robert Bedard of Sherbrooke, Que., was the last Canadian to win what was then called the Canadian Open in 1955. Coincidently  he was in attendance to see Nadal claim his third Rogers Cup, to go with wins in 2005 and 2008.

Nadal beats Djokovic, to face Raonic in Montreal final

World no.4 Spaniard Rafael Nadal crushed any hopes of world no.1 Novak Djokovic of advancing to the Montreal final when he beat him 6-4 3-6 7-6(2) in a tense semi final match. Nadal built a 6-0 lead in the deciding tie-break and went on to wrap up victory in two hours and 20 minutes.

Nadal now sets up a title decider against local favourite Milos Raonic.

The victory was Nadal's second successive over Djokovic at this stage of a tournament following his epic five-set triumph on clay at the French Open in June.

"It was a very close match," Djokovic told reporters. "There were very few points that decided the winner.

"To beat Novak on any surface is very important," Nadal said in a court side interview. "His level is always high and you have to play well ... almost perfect to beat him."
