Rafael Nadal claimed his first grass-court title in five years with victory over Victor Troicki at the Stuttgart Open.

The 14-time Grand Slam winner needed less than an hour and a half to beat Serbia's Troicki 7-6 6-3.

It is his first ATP victory on grass since he won at Wimbledon in 2010.

Nadal, who is down at 10 in the world rankings, will be chasing a third Wimbledon title when the third major of the year begins in a fortnight.
