Nadal Becomes 1st To Win Tennis Title 7 Years In A Row

Rafael Nadal made history on Sunday by becoming the first tennis player to win a title (the Monte Carlo Masters) an incredible seven times in a row after beating David Ferrer 7-5 6-4. Roger Federer has won multiple titles (the US Open 2004-2008, Wimbledon 2003-2007) fives years in a row but no modern player has won a title even six times in a row, a feat Nadal accomplished last year in Monte Carlo.

Nadal swept every single clay tournament he played last year, including Roland Garros. He has now won 37 clay court matches in a row. Monte Carlo was also his 19th ATP Masters title, which is two more than Andre Agassi and Federer have.
