Rafael Nadal has secured his third straight Rome Masters title after defeating Fernando Gonzalez 6-2 6-2 in the final at the Foro Italico.
Not only did the win enable Nadal to equal Thomas Muster's record of three Rome titles, it also both marked his 13th consecutive title on clay and extended his winning streak on the surface to 77 matches.
On the strength of his display in defeating crowd favourite Filippo Volandri on Saturday, the sixth-seeded Chilean had been expected to offer more of a challenge to Nadal.
