現場文字實況這樣說
DJOKOVIC 7-5 5-4 - BREAK, SET AND CHAMPIONSHIP! Nadal needs to make an
impression right away to keep the crowd with him, but Djokovic starts in
electrifying style - an outrageous backhand into the corner opens up a
0-30 advantage. Two more points required as Nadal grimaces - and after
another lengthy rally he unleashes an outrageous backhand. Three
championship points! He misses by a whisker on the first, but not on the
second! WHAT A WIN!
Djokovic was incredible today. Nadal was very, very good - and you'll
see that lob shot through the legs of his for years to come - but
Djokovic has just ended Nadal's 37-game streak on clay - in the Madrid
final - on Nadal's home court. A very special display - and make no
mistake, Djokovic is a real contender for the French Open as well.

Madrid Masters -
Djokovic stuns clay king Nadal in Madrid
Novak Djokovic dethroned clay king Rafa Nadal on the Spaniard's home soil and maintained his perfect season when he beat the world number one 7-5 6-4 to win the Madrid Masters title.
The Serbian second seed ground down the local favourite and defending champion during a succession of ferocious rallies to record his 32nd consecutive win of a defeat-free 2011, the best season start since John McEnroe's 42-match streak in 1984.
The defeat marked Nadal's first reverse on his beloved clay in 38 matches since he fell to Robin Soderling in the fourth round of the 2009 French Open and denied him a third title on the red dirt in under a month after he won back-to-back at the Monte Carlo Masters and Barcelona Open in April.
Djokovic, who had never beaten Nadal on clay in nine previous attempts, now has six titles this year, including the Australian Open and the Masters in Indian Wells and Miami.
"First of all to Rafa bad luck today," Djokovic said after collecting his winners trophy and 590,000 euros first prize. "It's always a big challenge to play you, you are a great champion. Hopefully we can have many more matches."
With the sliding roof open to the pale blue evening sky, one side of the futuristic Magic Box stadium was still bathed in sunshine when the match began.
A fired-up Djokovic came out on top in most of the lengthy exchanges in the early stages and surged into a 4-0 lead that prompted nervous mutterings among the home support in the packed, 12,500-capacity arena.
Ever the fighter, Nadal clawed his way back to 4-5 with two breaks and saved three Djokovic set points on his own serve to draw level at 5-5.
However, it was all in vain as the Serb held confidently and then broke Nadal for a third time to move a set ahead.
The Spaniard picked himself up and began the second set strongly, conjuring an incredible shot on the way to breaking Djokovic in the opening game.
After the Serb lifted the ball over Nadal's head to the back of the court, he chased it down and played an audacious lob from between his legs and with his back to the net that looped over his opponent and landed just inside the baseline.
A bemused-looking Djokovic could only applaud as the crowd leapt to their feet as one.
Nadal indulged in some characteristic fist-pumping but the euphoria did not last long as he dropped his serve in the next game to make it 1-1.
With Real Madrid footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas watching from the stands, Real fan Nadal had to dig deep to stay in the match but was finally floored when he went wide with a sliced backhand after another mesmerising baseline rally on Djokovic's second match point.
"Well done to you and your team. What you are doing this year is really unbelievable," Nadal said after picking up his runners-up trophy and cheque for 275,000 euros.

Djokovic puts Nadal's top tennis spot under threat
AFP - Rafael Nadal faces a fight to hold on to his world number one ranking after Novak Djokovic extended his victory streak to 34 matches with a 7-5, 6-4 win over the Spaniard at the Madrid Masters.
Nadal had to swallow his first loss on clay in nearly two years, a run of 37 straight victories stretching back to the French Open fourth round in 2009 when he lost to Robin Soderling.
Now Nadal has this week's Rome Masters, Roland Garros and Wimbledon champion's points to defend.
With Djokovic barely registering during the period a year ago (two quarter-finals and a Wimbledon semi-final), the Serb is well-placed to seize the top ranking and fulfill his lifetime tennis dream.
"I walked onto the court thinking I could win," said Djokovic, now holder of six titles this season.
"I'm very happy with the way I played. Beating Nadal is the greatest challenge on clay, I'm so glad I was able to do it."
Djokovic insisted that he is not getting too side-tracked by the pursuit of the world number one spot.
"If I continue to win, I will get closer to it, but I am trying not to think about it as I have only just started my claycourt season," he said.
"It's a perfect start to win two events on clay (Djokovic also won in Belgrade last weekend). But I am concentrating on the tournaments ahead. I know that if I want to become number one, I will have to play well constantly week after week.
"That's what Rafa and the other players will be doing."
World number two Djokovic has now won three straight Masters 1000 trophies over Nadal after defeating the number one at Indian Wells and Miami in March and April respectively.
Sunday's win was also the Serb's first over Nadal on clay after losing their nine previous meetings on the surface while his incredible winning streak is made up of 32 matches in 2011 and his two Davis Cup victories in December.
"Obviously I didn't play at my best," said Nadal. "I didn't play badly, just normal. But that is not enough against Djokovic."
Djokovic's start is the best to a season since John McEnroe in 1984 when he went 42-0.
He suffered his last loss against Roger Federer in the semi-finals at the World Tour Finals in London on November 27, 2010.
"I don't think about the record," said Djokovic. "I just concentrate on what I am doing. I am a more mature player, a more mature person.
"I know that my record is incredible, but I try not to think about how long it will go on for or when I might lose."
Nadal said he had been hoping to be "third time lucky" after his losses to Djokovic in Indian Wells and Miami.
"I'll have to keep working to try and beat you," said the world number one. "You are really off to a great start of the season."
Djokovic constructed his two-hour, 17-minute win through 27 winners and 26 unforced errors, while Nadal, playing in front of 15,000 of his home public at the Caya Magica, had just 17 winners.
With his eighth career Masters triumph, Djokovic has lifted trophies at six different venues in the elite series.
