World number two Rafael Nadal has won his third Mexican Open title.

He powered past Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-2 in just 74 minutes in the decider in Acapulco.

"I couldn't be happier, I played great from beginning to end," Nadal said. "Acapulco was the first big title that I won in my career, so to be able to stay here after 15 years is amazing."

Earlier, the Spaniard won the titles on clay in 2005 and 2013.
