Twitter reacts as Nadal wins his 11th title at Barcelona

Rafael Nadal thrashed Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 6-1 in the final of the Barcelona Open. He has looked unstoppable in the clay-court season and has notched two titles in as many weeks. Notably, he has won 46 sets consecutively which in itself is a record.

During the semifinals, he had notched his 400th win on clay. He started as a favorite in the final. From the start, he looked in exquisite form and toyed with the 19-year-old Tsitsipas. His accurate forehands and powerful baseline game never allowed the youngster to settle.

Nadal has looked so dominant in the last two tournaments that it is tough to fathom if anyone can beat him on the surface. With the French Open just around the corner, the current World No 1 is fine-tuning his game in the runup to the second major.

Here is how Twitter reacted to his record 11th win at Barcelona:

Only 11 male players in the history of tennis have won more than 55 titles.

46 in a row for Nadal on clay.

If he keeps it going in Madrid and Rome, I’m out of characters.

19-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas was simply no match for the King of Clay today.

Nadal claims his 11th @bcnopenbs title and will retain No.1 ranking for week No.172 starting tomorrow. Title No.77 overall, and 55th on clay. 46 straight sets on clay? What can you say? His unquenchable desire to keep pushing the envelope on this surface--just have to bow down.

Rafael Nadal on clay is like taking on Thanos - good luck with that.
