Nadal bids to make history in Monte Carlo

Rafael Nadal will be bidding to make more clay history when the World No 1 bids for an unprecedented seventh consecutive title as the Monte Carlo Masters begins on Sunday.

The Spaniard is coming off a pair of Masters 1000 losses in American hardcourt finals at Indian Wells and Miami to Novak Djokovic, who withdrew from the high-profile start of the European dirt season as a precaution to rest a knee injury. Also out with a similar problem is Swede Robin Soderling, finalist at the last two editions of Roland Garros.






Despite not winning a title since last October in Tokyo, the 24-year-old is confident. "It's difficult to imagine two years in a row (like that)," he said of his 2010 success. "But I'm seriously happy about how I'm playing, happy about my level. Hopefully I'm going to be playing well this tournament. I'll try my best in Monte Carlo, the first tournament of clay is always important."
