After eleven times, you would think it may get boring, but celebrating his clay-court titles hasn’t gotten the slightest bit old for Rafael Nadal.

The world No. 1 continued his dirt domination, picking up a record 11th title in Barcelona, and completing the traditional pool jump with the ball kids.

The ten-time French Open champion accomplished the same feat last week in Monte Carlo, where he also did not drop a set en route to his 11th trophy. In the Barcelona final, Nadal took out surprise finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas, 6-2, 6-1. To his credit, the 19-year-old Greek didn't lose a set on his way to his first career ATP 500 final.

The 31-year-old Nadal has not lost a set on clay since Rome last May against Dominic Thiem. His streak stands at 19 straight matches (46 sets).

For an 11th time in 14 years, Nadal ended his week with the champion’s pool plunge, saying "traditions are important."

Nadal is showing no signs of ending his dirt domination anytime soon. He's entered to play in Madrid and Rome ahead of his Grand Slam title defense in Paris.
