Rafael Nadal: "My knee responded well"

Rafael Nadal has said that his knee feels fine following his victory in the final of the Mexican Open.

The Spaniard beat David Ferrer 6-0 6-2 to claim his second title since returning from a seven-month absence while recovering from a partially torn knee tendon.

Speaking on court after the win, the world number five said: "For me, I played almost perfectly. My knee responded well all week.

"My heart tells me I should continue competing, that I need to move on to the next tournament."

Nadal will compete at Indian Wells this week.
