Finding back his rhythm of playing, the talented teenager, named the next "King of Clay" after claiming his ever-first grad slam title at Roland Garros last June, broke the right-handed Coria twice to make brief of the second set 6-1 and level it on one set to one.

The second-set romping home set the tune for the following one as Nadal again broke Coria twice to take the decider 6-2.

Nadal earns 69,200 dollars with the final victory at the 2005 China Open, which initiated 12 months ago seeing Russian Czar Marat Safin crowned at the ATP tournament.
