Tennis: Rafael Nadal continued his tremendous run on clay courts with a 6-4 7-5 victory over Stanislaw Wawrinka in the final of the Mercedes Cup.
Despite having an opponent win more than six games for the first time in this tournament, Nadal captured his 93rd win in his last 94 matches on dirt dating back to 2005.
He also posted his fifth title on the surface in six finals this season, losing only to world No. 1 Roger Federer in the championship match at Hamburg in May.
