Ruthless Rafael Nadal hammered out his third Canadian
title in commanding style as he crushed Milos Raonic 6-2, 6-2 on Sunday
in the Montreal Masters final.
Nadal was totally untroubled against the big-serving Canadian. But there was no relief for the 22-year-old on court as he fell to the Spanish juggernaut, with Nadal winning his fourth Master 1000 title of the season and 25th of his career.
Nadal broke twice in the opening set and started the second with another break as Raonic double-faulted. The Spanish strongman surpassed his only crisis when he saved three break points in fourth game of the second set.
Raonic had hoped to become the first Canadian to win the home title since 1958.
