Five of the best Madrid Open finals !
2010: Rafael Nadal defeated Roger Federer, 6-4, 7-6 (5).
It was the second year when the Open was played on clay. Seeing Nadal tear through the clay-court season and make the game’s elite players look average at best on his most dominant surface has led him to this list. Nadal was yet again breaking all record here. He wins his 39th title that day.
It was a revenge title for Nadal who lost to Federer the previous year on that very court. An anticipated finals between the World No. 1 and No. 2 was a treat to every tennis fan.
