Rafael Nadal Wins at Indian Wells

Rafael Nadal has done it again! He overcame the crazy weather to win the Indian Wells final against Andy Murray on Sunday, March 22nd . This is Nadal’s second Indian Wells win in three years.

The winds were extremely gusty, but Nadal powered through with a 6-1, 6-2 victory.

“The conditions today were really difficult. But I think I had a good strategy and played a really good match under this conditions,” Nadal said. “Probably Andy didn’t play his best because of the conditions, but I think I played a really complete match, moving very well.

“I never stopped the legs during the match and I think that was the key. Maybe I accepted the conditions a little bit better than him. Maybe I had a little bit more positive attitude than him.”

Because of the heavy winds, neither player managed any aces. Nadal had a strategy for the heavy winds and it obviously worked!

“I tried to play inside the court, go to the net some, move all the time,” he said. “It’s important that you know you don’t have to find the lines all the time, but hit the ball inside, not so close to the lines.”

Congrats to Rafael Nadal from Spain! He can add another title to his 2009 season.
