World number one Rafael Nadal produced an imperious display to win his 11th Barcelona Open title with a 6-2 6-1 win over Greek teenager Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Nadal, 31, who won his 400th clay-court match to reach the final, claimed two rapid breaks to take the first set in 40 minutes against the 19-year-old.

World number 63 Tsitsipas, playing the Spaniard for the first time, succumbed in 77 minutes.

Nadal has won 19 successive matches, and 46 consecutive sets, on clay.

After winning his 11th Monte Carlo title last weekend, this was his 55th title on clay – and the 77th overall in his illustrious career.

LeBron James scored 45 points to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 105-101 win over the Indiana Pacers and into the second round of the NBA play-offs.

The 33-year-old, who has won three NBA Championships, faced elimination in the first round for the first time.

James produced his third 40-point game of the series as Cleveland wrapped up the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series 4-3.

It earned them a second- round meeting with East top seeds Toronto.

The Pacers had ensured a tense deciding contest with a comprehensive 121-87 victory in game six on Friday.
