Florian Mayer belongs to those players who waited very long for their first main-level title. The unorthodox German [24] came to Romania from New York and advanced to his fifth ATP final at the BRD Năstase Țiriac Trophy. The beginning against Andujar [43] didn’t indicate that Mayer would win his first title. The Spaniard led 3:1 (40/15) as he committed a double fault and completely lost his game-plan losing 11 out of the next 12 games! The 28-year-old Mayer admitted to being nervous and finding it hard to sleep the night before the final. “I wanted to win so badly” the Bucharest champion said.
Mayer’s route to his maiden title (140th main-level event):
2 Carlos Berlocq 6-2, 0-6, 6-4
Q Albert Ramos 6-1, 6-2
S Filippo Volandri 7-6(3), 6-2
W Pablo Andujar 6-3, 6-1
