At 23 years and 11 months, World No. 2 Rafael Nadal stands alone with the record for most number of ATP World Tour 1000 (Masters) titles at 18 after winning in Madrid. Andre Agassi previously held the record with 17 shields, winning his last title in 2004. World No. 1 Roger Federer is third on the list with 16 shields.
Nadal breaks Agassi's Masters record less than a year after Federer broke Pete Sampras' Grand Slam singles record. Talk about symmetry!
Rafa achieves the first-ever Monte Carlo-Rome-Madrid clay court "treble" and becomes the first player to win three consecutive ATP World Tour 1000 tournaments irrespective of surface.
