Nadal Wins 500th; Faces Ferrer in Barcelona Final
Rafael Nadal won his 500th ATP tour match on Saturday, setting up another showdown again with his countryman and good friend David Ferrer in the finals of the clay court tournament in Barcelona, Spain. Last week, Nadal beat Ferrer to win his record 7th consecutive title in Monaco. Nadal has won 28 straight matches in Barcelona as well, having won 5 consecutive titles here from 2005 through 2009 (and missing last year's event due to injury). He beat Ferrer in the 2008 and 2009 finals.
