April 12, 2009
Juan Carlos Ferrero scored a straight-set win over Florent Serra Sunday in the championship match of the Grand Prix Hassan II tennis tournament in Morocco.
The Spaniard, once ranked No. 1 in the world, outlasted the Frenchman 6-4, 7-5 for his first ATP title since 2003.
Ferrero has 12 titles overall.
This is a special tournament for me,
Ferrero said. Ten years ago I played my first ATP World Tour tournament here and now I’m back winning the title. I’m very happy; it was a great week for me.
The Spaniard held the top spot in the world rankings during 2003.
