   Points won by each set: [ 35-27, 26-9 ]
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   25 % Davydenko – 11 of 43
   3 % Ferrero – 2 of 54

   Until 3-all (15-all) it seemed like a very open match. Their H2H was 2-all at the time, admittedly Davydenko was higher ranked [9 vs 36], but Ferrero had bigger experience on clay-courts, so everything seemed possible. And then, the Russian manufactured a flawless baseline display, returning all Ferrero’s serves, and serving above his standards given the red dirt. In the consequence Ferrero notched the longest nine-game losing streak in his career.

   Davydenko’s route to his 16th title:
   1 Daniel Gimeno 6-2, 6-2
   2 Alberto Martin 6-2, 6-3
   Q Simone Bolelli 7-6(10), 6-1
   S Jurgen Melzer 6-1, 6-1
   W Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-3, 6-0

   # Saved 4 SPs in the tie-break, 2 of them with 2nd serve aces!
