BARCELONA, Spain – Rafael Nadal beat David Ferrer, 6-2, 7-5, to win his fifth straight Barcelona Open title on Sunday.

Top-ranked Nadal exploited Ferrer’s inconsistent service game to win the first set while also overcoming his own erratic play in the second set to win the Godo trophy at his fellow Spaniard’s expense for the second straight year. (AP)
