Rafael Nadal beat David Ferrer 7-6(1) 7-5 to win the Barcelona Open for the 7th time. It was Nadal's 48th career ATP title (34 won on clay) and 2nd win in as many weeks. The "King of Clay" became the first player to win more than one tournament 7 times. (He won the Monte Carlo tournament for an astonishing eighth time last week.)

In a few weeks, Nadal will try to win the French Open for a record seventh time.
