87

Rafa Nadal has been proclaimed champion for the fourth time in Acapulco after beating Cameron Norrie, number 12 in the ATP, in the final 6-4. It is the third consecutive title for the Spaniard this season and the 91st in his entire career. In this way, the Spaniard approaches the podium of the ranking of tennis players with the most titles conquered throughout history: he is only three behind Ivan Lendl , who occupies third place.

The ATP 250 in Melbourne, the Australian Open and now the ATP 500 in Acapulco . These are the three titles that Rafa Nadal has added to his showcases in the last 52 days, after a sensational start to the season. The most successful tennis player of all time in Grand Slams has a whopping 91 titles to his credit, a figure that brings him closer to the podium of the tennis players with the most titles conquered. At this time, he is only three behind Ivan Lendl , who occupies third place in this historical ranking. Completing the podium are Roger Federer, with 103, and Jimmy Connors, with 109. Serbian Novak Djokovi c is fifth, with 86.

Rafa Nadal has won three consecutive titles at this start of the course and it is the fifteenth time in his career that he has been crowned champion in three consecutive tournaments. Only in 2016 and in 2020 and 2022, marked by an irregular agenda due to the pandemic, did it not repeat. Since 2013 he has not managed to add three consecutive titles on hard court, as he has done at the beginning of the season.

“It is a prestigious victory, in a tournament in which there were five of the six best in the world and it is one more title to add to my career and, in addition, it is a 500”, Nadal said at a press conference, assessing the importance of the trophy won in Acapulco. In addition, it is the fourth time that he has won the Mexican tournament and has thus equaled the record held by Thomas Muster and David Ferrer.
