 Spanish tennis hero Rafael Nadal has won another tournament and another trophy to add to his sizable collection.
The Majorcan came out on top in the Rogers Cup in Toronto this week to pick up his fifth straight tournament trophy, with this year's Wimbledon and French Open titles already bagged in recent weeks.
Unbeaten on any surface for several months, Nadal is close to becoming the official world number one player for the first time in his short but illustrious career.
Tennis in Spain has been in good shape since Nadal rose to prominence but this summer has also been one to remember for the football team, which won the European Championships and cyclist Carlos Sastre, who won the Tour de France last week.

 Tourists who enjoy a little sports on holiday have been warned not to indulge their passions after having a few drinks.
In the hot summer sun of La Manga, a refreshing alcoholic drink might be perfect for a leisurely lunchtime - but it is not the best preparation for a game of tennis, Mature Enjoyment of Alcohol in Society (Meas) has suggested.
The group warned that playing any sports while under the influence of alcohol can heighten the risk of injury.
"When people head off on holidays they often do not consider the possible affects a cocktail of sun and alcohol can have on them," said Fionnuala Sheehan, chief executive of Meas.
