lifted the trophy on his debut in 2005.

triumph in Sao Paulo (d. Nalbandian).He has won 38
trophies on clay, which ranks him third on the all-time
list.
• Nadal improved to 17-4 against Ferrer and has
won all seven of their clashes in clay-court finals.
• This was the fourth straight all-Spanish final in
Acapulco, with Ferrer winning the previous three.

title after winning the event last year with Fernando
Verdasco.
WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID
Rafael Nadal: "This was a great week for
me and today I played exceptionally well, I dominated
the game against the world No. 4 and couldn't be
happier, especially when I think where I am coming from.
Perhaps the conditions were in my favour but I feel it
was maybe one of the best matches of my career."
David Ferrer: "I wish I could have
played a better match but I never found my rhythm. You
have good days and bad days. Rafa played really well and
I couldn't do much, and never had any chance. I leave
with a positive feeling,"
Lukasz Kubot: “We decided to play
together at the last minute. We were supposed to play
with different partners, but they got injured. I think
we did great. Every match, we played much better. We
played good tennis today, especially in the second set.”
David Marrero: “I really like coming
back to Acapulco. It is amazing to repeat winning the
title. We played good in every match. I am so happy
because I have great memories here. I hope to come back
every year.”
