Rafael Nadal closed the rankings gap even further on world number one Roger Federer on Sunday after a comfortable 6-3, 6-2 victory over Nicolas Kiefer in the Toronto Masters final on Sunday.

With his 29th consecutive victory - his last loss came in Rome last May in the second round to Juan Carlos Ferrero - the Spanish world number two has climbed to within 300 points of Federer, who crashed out in his opening match.

Nadal's victory marked his second trophy in Canada after claiming the title in Montreal three years ago. He has now won his last five events, including Queen's and Wimbledon on grass and the French Open on clay.

Nadal improved to 61-7 for the season by winning his seventh title of the year and 30th overall.
