Nadal beats Djokovic to win 10th Italian Open title

(UTV | ITALY) – Rafael Nadal won his 10th Italian Open with a 7-5 1-6 6-3 victory over world number one Novak Djokovic in Rome.

Both players dropped serve early on in the first set before Nadal took it after securing the key break at 5-5.

Djokovic dominated the second set but paid for not taking two break points in the fifth game of the decider.

A stunning backhand from Spaniard Nadal saw him break the Serb in the next game before he went on to hold his serve and nerve to close out the match.
