ATP 500 Barcelona - Final
1 Rafael Nadal d 3 David Ferrer - 76(1) 75
Another Sunday - another historic title. This time a 7th title at Barcelona.
With 8 titles in M-C, Rafa becomes the 1st man to win 7 titles at 2 events.
He extends his match streak in the month of April to 77.
He now has 34 consecutive wins in Barcelona, he didn't play in '09.
Tough day for David as he goes home a 4-time runner-up. All to Rafa.
Instead of going on and on, how about you watch the point of the match.
Hmm, no. The point of the tournament:
David Ferrer into Rome Quarterfinals
ATP Masters 1000 Rome - Third Round
6 David Ferrer d 11 Gilles Simon - 60 76(5)
How's this as a mark for an amazingly consistent career:
This is David's 27th trip to a Masters 1000 quarterfinal: 18-8.
His 1st Masters Qf appearance was way back at Hamburg in 2004.
It's his 3rd at Rome - he won his previous 2 and advanced to the final in '10.
David is 30, currently ranked #6 and owns 14 ATP titles including 3 this year.
He will play the winner of Murray/Gasquet.
He's a man to admire.
