Nadal Beats Federer for the Italian Open 2013 Title

Nadal
“Rafa was just too good today.” That was Roger Federer said after the rival Rafael Nadal controlled the Italian Open 2013 final game from the start and won 6-1, 6-3 Sunday.

“For that to happen between two players with not that much difference, it has to be because one player plays very well and the other is having more mistakes than usual,” Nadal said. “That’s all.”

Nadal improved to 20-10 in his career against Federer, and showed once again that he’ll be the player to beat when the French Open starts next Sunday. It was the fifth-ranked Spaniard’s sixth title since returning earlier this year from a seven-month layoff due to a left knee injury.
