Nadal beat Brit Cameron Norrie in straight sets in the final in Acapulco, to make it a career-best 15-and-oh start to the season.
Remarkably, the King of Clay's success has all come on hard courts, starting with the Australian Open,an ominous sign to his rivals ahead of the next grand slam, the French Open - which he's won 13 times.
And Nadal's fourth victory in Mexico means he's both the youngest champ there - as well as the oldest - winning it for the first time at the age of 18 and now again, at 35.
