Nadal defeated Verdasco and won the Monte Carlo Masters. He easily defeated Verdasco and this win was Nadal’s sixth consecutive win.
Verdasco was the sixth seed and he performed very well in semi final. He beat Novak Djokovic who is world number two in semi final. But unfortunately Verdasco could not secure his position in final against Nadal. Verdasco had never defeated Nadal in the previous meetings for nine times. He was the underdog where as Nadal was the favourite in the final match.
Nadal was in fantastic form and he did not give any chance to Verdasco to stand and win the first game. After that Nadal achieved the six points and managed to win the first set by 6 – 0 while Verdasco who is just 26 years old could not win a game in first set.
But Nadal continued to remain in his fantastic form and got the second game with the help of his awesome backhand. But Verdasco also gave a return shot into the corner but Nadal managed to return that back and used a shot which was a cross court. Verdasco could not stop Nadal from taking points. Thus Nadal got the next four game points and thus won the set also. From fifth game Verdasco could not manage and he took a three minute break for a quick check up of his back and neck.
Due to this break Nadal who achieved two set points got some advantage and played very good and took the set point in just half an hour. But at the beginning of the second set Verdasco played good where he played well to save three break points and won the first game point in the final.
Thus Nadal won the match by 6 – 0, 6 – 1 against Verdasco in one hour and twenty five minutes.
