Nicely done. Again, Nadal controlling the rally.
It's fantastic from start to finish. He's done it.
A second title here in Indian Wells after his earlier success in 2007.
Boom goes the dynamite from Rafael Nadal.
Absolutely relentless. He has won 21 of 27 points played.
Ruthless opening set.
Staggering.
This is tennis at the very highest level.
Weighted that one to perfection.
Oh, a bit of skill from Alcaraz.
Rafael Nadal proves too strong for the birthday boy here in Madrid.
Unquestionably, we will see more of Carlos Alcaraz, just 18 years of age.
Well, it's not a fair fight anyway, is it?
When you look at what they pose against each other,
they're not exactly both even in the same weight class.
It's middleweight versus light heavyweight.
And the knockout is coming.
Five-love start from Rafael Nadal.
Ended his second bagel set amongst the last five played.
Demoralizing sort of match that he's playing.
He just can't match the firepower.
Has gone wrong.
That's what's gone wrong.
Oh, too good.
Pulverizing the forehand.
The crown remains firmly in place for now.
The king of play.
Produces a business-like performance.
And the numbers here in Monte Carlo just keep getting...
Rafa Nadal.
Oh, right in the corner.
It's all going to plan right now.
Nadal is on the charge.
Oh, rock and roll.
Smooth sailing into the semifinals for the super Spaniard.
And once again in the capital, he is making a big play.
It's an intelligent volley.
Yep, it's good.
Dipped just in time.
This opening set.
Game away, 5-2.
Points.
A nice way to wrap up the opening set.
You can see the problem when he went down the middle.
It still ends up being an angled serve.
Nadal making a return of play and just steals the point off him.
Is the champion in Kedah once more.
The 35th Masters 1000 trophy for the Spaniard.
And it's the 5th Rogers Cup title.
Phenomenal start for Rafa Nadal.
Very much feels like business as usual for Rafa Nadal so far here in Monte Carlo.
Just looks completely out of sorts to Sir Gregor Dimitrov.
Well, there we go.
He had kept things under wraps.
And finally he does boil over.
There we go.
Well, it's often an unpredictable world.
But Rafa Nadal winning quickly in the Monte Carlo springtime is strangely reassuring.
The 11th time champion is looking to continue his love story.
He's not lost a point with that tactic yet.
This is a lovely play.
Good volley, close nice and tight.
A low short ball as well.
So it wasn't like Nadal was moving in one direction.
He had to make the adjustments.
He's got him again.
The master teaching the young apprentice a clay court lesson.
Oh, wonderful.
Just simply no reply.
Oh, he's there.
He's omnipresent is Nadal all over the court.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Just superb improvisation there from Nadal.
We know he can strike the ball, but he's a sumptuous athlete as well.
There we are.
Signifies that Nadal is up and running here in the final.
Oh, look at that.
That is majestic from Nadal.
The eye is definitely in now.
And he has won eight of the first 10 points in this second set.
Very, very tight to me.
There it is.
Rafa Nadal once again is victorious here.
It's been a one sided final.
All credit to Tsitsipas on his first ever ATP Tour final.
When I saw that he's standing there.
Brilliant stuff.
He's showing no love.
Squeezes it inside the side.
I can't believe it.
His sixth successive Monte Carlo title.
Nobody has done that before in the Open era.
His 37th ATP crown.
His 26th Enclave.
Oh, super point.
Nancy Djokovic actually.
Outstanding from Nadal.
That's why it didn't manage to win a set in the finals in Rome and Madrid last year.
Rafa Nadal.
But it's not the case today.
Bruising from Nadal.
Djokovic way back.
It's a Rafa special.
The first one of the final.
That as well.
The change up from Djokovic.
But he doesn't even reach for the line.
Eight times a champion in the Principality.
If ever a player had ownership of an event.
It is Rafael Nadal.
Who claims the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters.
Eight points for Nadal.
It's outstanding tennis.
At the very highest set point.
In the face of Nadal.
A 24th ATP Masters Series 1000 title.
His sixth ATP.
