Toronto - Nicolas Kiefer fell victim to the march of Rafael Nadal as the Spaniard claimed his fifth straight trophy of the season with a 6-3, 6-2 victory in the final of the Toronto Masters on Sunday. The 31-year-old German has now gone a frustrating 140 matches without a title since lifting his last in Hong Kong eight years ago. Nadal has climbed to within 300 ranking points of Roger Federer, who was stunned in his opening second-round match this week by France's Gilles Simon. Nadal claimed his 29th consecutive victory since losing in Rome on May 7 to claim his second Canadian title after Montreal in 2005.
