Monte Carlo Masters

Rafael Nadal exults during the final of the Monte Carlo Masters Open on Sunday.

The Spanish teenager installed himself as one of the favourites for the French Open when he swept aside defending champion Guillermo Coria 6-3, 6-1, 0-6, 7-5 to win the title.

The 18-year-old left-hander played near-perfect claycourt tennis for three sets, becoming the youngest winner of a Masters Series title since Michael Chang in Toronto 15 years ago.
