MONTE CARLO – Rafael Nadal wrapped up a fifth consecutive Monte Carlo Masters title and is overwhelming favourite to make it five-in-a-row at the French Open, but his uncle and coach Toni is still not happy.
World number one Nadal enjoyed a 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 victory over Novak Djokovic in the final here Sunday to equal the record of five titles set by New Zealander Anthony Wilding from a century ago.
He is now 23-1 in claycourt finals, with his only loss coming at Hamburg in May 2007 to Roger Federer and has pulled level with the Swiss with 14 Masters crowns.
Uncle Toni however wants more.
‘He played a good third set, but it’s obvious he must play better than this week,’ said Nadal senior.
