In a repeat of last year's final at Barcelona, Rafael Nadal took a lead in the first set after breaking Ferrer in the third and fifth games. The second set saw both players broken twice, with Ferrer handling Nadal's groundstrokes impressively. But Nadal was able to break in the 11th game of the set and a game later to clinch his 5th straight title in the Catalan city and his 35th career title.
Nadal next will head to Rome for the Masters event there and is the strong favourite to capture the French Open which starts at the end of May.
