IN-FORM Spaniard and top seed David Ferrer won his fifth ATP title of the year yesterday, beating compatriot Nicolas Almagro 6-2, 6-2 in the Swedish Open final in Bastad.
Ferrer, 30 and winning his 16th career title in what was his 31st final, eased to the title against his 26-year-old opponent, who has yet to beat him in 10 meetings.
Ferrer is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career and this was his 51st win of a season that has seen him reach the French Open semifinals and push Andy Murray hard in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
It saw him add this title to those he has already accrued in Hertogenbosch, on grass, on the hardcourt of Auckland, and his favored clay surface like in Bastad as well as Buenos Aires and Acapulco.
In Stanford, California? Serena Williams overpowered Romania's Sorana Cirstea 6-1, 6-2 in the Bank of the West Classic on Saturday to set up the first all-American WTA final on home soil in eight years.
Exactly a week after winning her fifth Wimbledon title, Williams will go for her second straight title at Stanford against lucky loser Coco Vandeweghe, who reached her first WTA Tour final with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 victory over Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer.
The last all-American WTA final at home came in 2004, when Lindsay Davenport topped Williams in Los Angeles.
