Nadal wins on grass

Rafael Nadal has become the first Spaniard since Andres Gimeno in 1972 to win a grass court title.

In a thrilling Stella Artois final at Queen’s, he overcame the up and coming Novak Djokovic, the score 7-6, 7-5.

He is also the first player to win at Roland Garros and Queen’s in the same year since the tournament began in its current format in 1979 and is now hoping to be the first since Bjorn Borg to win Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
