ROME -- Novak Đoković has extended his unbeaten run this ATP season to 37, beating world no. 1 Rafael Nadal in a second tournament final in the space of one week.
Đoković, who holds ATP's number two spot, triumphed in the Rome Masters final on Sunday after the clash on clay was delayed due to rain.
The Serbian won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, in a match that lasted two hours and 12 minutes.
"I believe this match was better even than the Madrid final," Đoković told B92 in a statement tonight. "I truly gave one of the best performances of my career on this surface."
"It's incredible that I managed to beat Nadal twice in 7 or 8 days, and he is the best player of all times on clay," said Đoković, and added that he was enjoying his victories, and preparing for the French Open.
Serbia's best tennis player also praised the crowd in Rome, saying that those who traveled to the city to attend the tournament "wished for this final to happen".
"I was close to being beaten against (Andy) Murray in the semi-finals, where he was brilliant, but I managed to salvage that match," concluded Đoković.
