   Points won by each set: | 34-27, 55-46 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   18 % Gomez – 14 of 74
   10 % Tulasne – 9 of 88

   The two top seeds met in the final on green-clay in April, and just like in their previous meetings, the match was quite balanced, yet the three years younger Frenchman [16] was unable to win a set against the future French Open champion [18]. Tulasne led 4:2* in the opener, in the 2nd set there were six consecutive breaks between 2-all and 5-all, Gomez fought off a set point with a volley winner. At 6:5* he squandered a match point, but played a perfect tie-break, easily producing a sixtuple match point. Gomez earned $51,000, Tulasne a half of it. “He doesn’t have a big serve, and I felt confident throughout the match,” Gomez said after the final. “I felt once I got my game together I would be fine.” Gomez would also win in straight sets their next encounter, but finally Tulasne takes his revenge after six defeats in 1988 (Monte Carlo).

   Gomez’ route to his 11th title:
   1 Diego Perez 6-2, 6-2
   2 Christo Steyn 6-1, 6-2
   Q Mikael Pernfors 6-3, 7-5
   S Martin Jaite 6-2, 6-3
   W Thierry Tulasne 6-4, 7-6(1)

   Serve & volley: Gomez 4/11, Tulasne 0/3
