Rafael Nadal continued his domination of the clay-court season with victory over fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in the final of the Barcelona Open.
The world number two took the title for the fourth straight year with a 6-1 4-6 6-1 win over the second seed.
After starting strongly and dominating the first set, Nadal dropped serve twice as Ferrer took the second.
But the champion stepped up a gear in the decider, moving 5-0 up and sealing the title in two hours 14 minutes.
Having also won the Monte Carlo Masters last Sunday, Nadal heads to next week's Rome Masters as a strong favourite.
He has now won 103 of 104 matches on clay since 2005, with the only defeat coming against Roger Federer in Hamburg last year.
