Rafael Nadal claimed a fifth title since his return from injury when the Spanish world number five dismissed 15th-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka 6-2, 6-4 to win the Madrid Open on Sunday.
Nadal was sidelined for seven months by a knee problem and since his return in February has won the events at Sao Paulo, Acapulco, Indian Wells, Barcelona and now Madrid.
He also reached the final at Vina del Mar and Monte Carlo and Sunday's success was his third at the Masters event in the Spanish capital.
Nadal broke his serve three times in the match and did not face a single break point himself and collapsed on to his back in celebration when Wawrinka went long with a backhand to hand the Spaniard victory.
"Maybe this win is even more special given where I have come back from," Nadal said in an interview with Spanish television broadcaster La Sexta.
"Playing in Madrid is always very exciting for me and the tournament couldn't have worked out better," he added.
