Ferrer denies Ferrero hat-trick

David Ferrer denied Juan Carlos Ferrero a third title in as many weeks with a 6-3 3-6 6-1 win in the final of ATP Acapulco tournament.

It was sweet revenge for Ferrer who had lost to his good friend Ferrero in last week's final in Buenos Aires.

It was also the third seed's first title since he won in his home town of Valencia back in 2008.

Ferrero had been on fire during the Latin American clay court season after wins in Costa do Sauipe and Buenos Aires but his 14-match winning streak came to an end in one hour and 47 minutes.
