Ferrer Wins 3 Straight Titles in Argentina

Top seed David Ferrer became the first player to win three straight Copa Claro titles, defeating second seed Fabio Fognini 6-4, 6-3 in the final on Sunday in Buenos Aires.

World No. 5 Ferrer ended a seven-match losing streak in ATP finals, winning his first title since last year's Copa Claro and his 21st overall.

Ferrer said, "I’m happy for my new title. The last seven finals I lost, and this time I can change my luck so I’m happy for that. I try to always do my best and finally I can win again another title."

The 31-year-old will climb to fourth in the world rankings on Monday, displacing Argentine Juan Martin del Porto who played in Rotterdam this week.

The loss snapped Fognini's 10-match winning streak and marked just his second in his past 25 clay-court matches.
