Ferrer Downs Rochus In Auckland Final Back To Main

AUCKLAND: Top-seed David Ferrer retained his Auckland ATP title Saturday with a comfortable victory over Olivier Rochus 6-3, 6-4 in a rain-disrupted final.

The Spaniard fell to the ground in celebration as he closed out the match in an hour and 34 minutes to claim the Auckland title for a third time, having previously won in 2011 and 2007.

“This is the most special as every year is more difficult because I am older,” the 29-year-old said.
