With a 6-4 7-5 victory over Stanislas Wawrinka in the Stuttgart final, Nadal claimed his 6th title of the year and finished yet another remarkable clay court season. Playing his 16th straight final on clay, Nadal ran into a bit of trouble in both sets. Being the fighter he is known for, Nadal came from 3-1 down to clinch the first set 6-4. Wawrinka had Nadal cornered in the the second with a 5-2 lead but Nadal took the next five games in no time to clinch the match and title, improving his 2007 clay court record to 31-1. His overall clay court record is an unbelievable 93 wins from 94 matches, the only loss coming in the form of Roger Federer in this year's Hamburg open. Nadal has only dropped three sets in this years clay court season.
Nadal winner of the Mercedes luxury car at the Stuttgart open in 2005, handed over this years Benz to his Coach, who is also his Uncle. Nadal claimed to be still doing okay with his last win and that his Uncle needed a new car. How generous.
