World n0 1 Nadal overcame stubborn early resistance from defending champion Djokovic to claim the Rome Masters crown with an entertaining 7-6 6-2 win.
The Spaniard took the first set in a tiebreak after Serbian Djokovic had twice recovered breaks as well as destroying a racket after losing serve in the 11th game.
Nadal broke the third seed twice in the second set to bag his fifth title of the year, his third on clay, and continue his dominance before beginning his bid for a fifth successive French Open title later this month.
