Nishikori's 2nd in a row

Japan's Kei Nishikori claimed his second consecutive Barcelona Open title on Sunday with a hard-fought 6-4, 6-4 over Spaniard Pablo Andujar.

Andujar had upset Rafael Nadal's conqueror Fabio Fognini and David Ferrer on his route to the final and made the perfect start by breaking the world number five's serve in the first game.

However, Nishikori broke straight back and then sealed the set by breaking once more in the 10th game.
