We look at Rafael Nadal and his record 11 Monte Carlo Masters wins after another successful title defence on Sunday.

The world No 1 recovered from going a break down early in the first set to beat Kei Nishikori 6-3 6-2 in 93 minutes and has now won 36 consecutive sets on clay, a run which stretches back to the first round of last year's French Open.
