  Nadal wins confidence on hardcourt from China Open
French Open champion Rafael Nadal could no longer be called only as the King of Clay after the 19-year-old showed his tennis at the China Open ATP hardcourt tournament with an undisputed title-winning run.
With his heavily top-spin, consistent groundstrokes and a die-for-it attitude, the talented Spaniard, who came back from one set down to beat second-seeded Guillermo Coria of Argentina 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 here on Sunday, proved himself here with a quality to be the champion at any tournament on any surface with wonderful fitness and court coverage.
Regarded the most promising youngster to world tennis, Nadal's position on the ATP ranking board has rised from 51st to 2nd in six months, and after claiming his ever-first grand slam title of career at Roland Garros last June, the teenager's eyes have been set on a further self-approval.
