Nadal wins in Hamburg
August 1, 2015Advertisement
Rafael Nadal has yet to win on clay in 2015 - an amazing fact considering that he's the best player in history on that surface and has a title streak that dates to 2004.
But the Mallorcan looks a good bet to keep his run going after destroying Italy's Andreas Seppi 6-1, 6-2 in Saturday's late semifinal. Nadal double-faulted on his first match point, but that was about the only mistake he made, closing out the match by breaking his opponent's serve in the subsequent game.
Nadal won the ATP event in Hamburg in 2008 - the last time he played in the event.
He now faces Fabio Fognini in the final. The Italian progressed after beating qualifier Lucas Pouille of France 6-2, 7-6.
