The 38-year-old Lopez, Roberto Bautista Agut, Marcel Granollers and Pablo Carreno Busta all got court time but Nadal was the rock. He won all eight of the matches he played without dropping his serve. His 6-3 7-6 win over Canada’s Denis Shapovalov clinched a 2-0 victory in the final and took his run of singles wins in the competition to an incredible 29 dating back to 2004.
“There’s things that only people like Rafa can do and if you ask my opinion I think he’s a superhero.” “It’s been amazing, the whole week of course. When you finally win the title after all the things that we went through I think this week,” Nadal told reporters. “And playing at home is something difficult to describe. It’s been an unforgettable week for all of us, without a doubt.”
