Nadal squeezes past Youzhny; wins third title

Spaniard Rafael Nadal edged past Mikhail Youzhny to win the Craotia Open in Umag, securing his third title of the year. The match was as tight as the scoreline suggests with neither man prepared to relent, firing punishing groundstrokes after punishing groundstrokes. However, it was Nadal who just had enough when it counted, showing his greater experience despite his younger years, to avenge his loss against Youzhny last week in Kitzbühel and adding the Umag title to his tournament wins at St Poelten and Stuttgart.
