    Points won by each set: [ 30-19, 26-14 ]
    Points won directly behind the serve:
    27 % Safin – 11 of 40
    14 % Ferrero – 7 of 49

    When the 20-year-old Safin [2] enjoyed the best period of his career, his peer Ferrero [13] had no chance regardless of the surface. In that period (April-November ’00) they met thrice and every time Safin’s serve & ground-strokes were simply too fast for the Spaniard; Safin won…
    – 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 in the Barcelona final on clay,
    – then 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 at the US Open on hardcourt,
    – and finally 6-2, 6-2 in the indoor event of the French capital on carpet
