  • Djokovic Defeats Ferrer in Bercy Masters Final

    Djokovic Defeats Ferrer in Bercy Masters Final

    Paris Djokovic

    Novak Djokovic came from behind in each of two sets to sneak past David Ferrer and win his second title in Paris, his 14th career Masters title.

    Today’s final was hard fought, with many long and bruising points.  The Spaniard broke early in each set, and led for much of both, but the Serb broke back with Ferrer serving for the set at 5-4 both times, going on to win the first set 7-5, then the second and the championship in identical fashion, again 7-5.

    Djokovic’s win keeps alive a slender chance of regaining the No. 1 ranking over Rafael Nadal at the World Tour Finals this week in London.

  • Ferrer Stuns Nadal in Paris – Sets Sights on Djokovic in Final

    Ferrer Stuns Nadal in Paris – Sets Sights on Djokovic in Final

    Paris Final - Djokovic Ferrer

    David Ferrer will have a chance to defend his title in Paris after upsetting world No. 1 Rafael Nadal today in straight sets: 6-3, 7-5.  It was only Ferrer’s fifth win over his fellow countryman in 25 meetings, but it was really all Ferrer today.  He will meet No. 2 Novak Djokovic in the final tomorrow, after the Serb overcame a shaky start in his own semifinal to beat Roger Federer: 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.

    Djokovic’s victory, coupled with Nadal’s loss, keeps his hopes alive of regaining the No. 1 ranking by year’s end, though he will need to win tomorrow, and get further assistance from the Spaniard at the World Tour Finals next week in London.

    The loss also dashed Nadal’s hope of becoming the first man to win six Masters 1000 titles in a single season.

    In tomorrow’s final, Ferrer will be hoping to improve on his disadvantageous 5-10 head-to-head record against Djokovic.
