David Nalbandian defeated top-ranked Roger Federer in the final of
tennis Madrid Masters and attained his first title since May 2006.
The world No. 25 from Argentina won 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 to end a run of four
straight defeats against Switzerland’s Federer, who he last beat in
the Masters Cup in Shanghai two years ago.
Nalbandian, who hadn’t been past a quarterfinal this year before
Madrid, also beat No. 2 Rafael Nadal and third-ranked Novak Djokovic
this week.
Specialists say this was the greatest success in Nalbandian’s career.
Gaining 100 rating points, he considerably improved the standing in
the ranking list.
