World number one Rafael Nadal has won his 11th Barcelona title after dispatching teenager Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 6-1 in Sunday’s final.

The Spaniard has now won 55 career clay-court titles, extending his winning streak on the surface to 46 consecutive sets.

He had won his 11th Monte Carlo Masters last weekend also without dropping a set.

“It’s really emotional to see that video. I never dreamed of having a career like this,” the 16-time Grand Slam winner said.

“Last year, they made a video of my 10 titles here. Now they have had to make another video for 11 — it makes me feel like I am ageing.

“Thanks to everyone for making the tournament so special and thanks to my family who have been with me even when things have not been so smooth.”
