(CNN)It’s been a long wait but Rafael Nadal finally landed his first European clay court title of the season and extended an 11-year record as he won the ATP World Tour 500 tournament in Hamburg Sunday.
The top seed beat Italy’s Fabio Fognini 7-5 7-5 in a hard-fought final lasting over two and a half hours.
The 29-year-old Mallorcan was avenging defeats to eighth seed Fognini in both Rio de Janeiro and Barcelona this season, both times on his favorite clay surface.
After his failure to win the French Open for the 10th time, Nadal’s record of winning at least one European clay event since 2004 looked in jeopardy.
