Rafael Nadal triumphs, claims Mercedes Cup title

Rafael Nadal can add another Mercedes Cup title to his trophy case, next to his two existing ones.

The Spaniard was dominant Sunday, befitting his top-seed status, as he registered 11 aces en route to a straight-sets 7-6, 6-3 win over eight-seed Viktor Troicki.

The grass-court win could prove to be beneficial for the tennis all-star, as it leads up to one of the most prestigious Grand Slams, also played on grass: Wimbledon.

Following the quarterfinal loss from Roland Garros, Nadal dropped from No. 7 in the world to his current position of No. 10.

Before Wimbledon, however, he'll look to continue his momentum next week at the Aegon Open.
