World number five, Rafael Nadal on Sunday beat thirteenth seed Gael Monfils 7-5 5-7 6-0, to win his ninth Monte Carlo Masters.
The 29-year old Spaniard, who hasn't been at his best in recent times defeated Andy Murray in the last four on Saturday, and
then beat the Frenchman to bring his ATP world tour titles to 68th win from 100 finals.
The 29-year-old has now won clay-court titles in each of the past 13 years.
After sharing the first two sets between themselves, Nadal then took control of the decider and raced into a 5-0 lead before landing a forehand winner at match point to win for the ninth time in Monte Carlo as he builds to next month's French Open, which he will be seeking to win for a 10th time.
