This is the third time Nadal has lifted the trophy in Canada. Back in 2005 he triumphed against Agassi and in Toronto Kiefer fell to the King of Clay.

"To win here, I have to be playing my top level," said Nadal." Very happy the way that I played almost every match in this tournament. Is very important for me, this title. Just very happy for everything."

Nadal has improved his head to head stat's against Raonic to 4-0. The Spaniard broke the Canadian four times in their 68 minute match. Nadal hit 17 winners and made only 7 unforced errors, compared to Raonic's 22 unforced errors. 

"I did a lot of things well," said Nadal. "My return was huge this afternoon. I returned a few first serves of his in important moments, decisive. Then I think he play with more mistakes than usual. That helped me."
