My bet is not going to win though. Ferrer has a 1-17 record against Nadal on clay even though it's both their preferred surface.

A really useful site I use for tennis betting.

Final was boring. Actually felt sorry for Ferrer because he was playing brilliantly from the baseline, hitting winners etc but for every winning shot, Nadal answered with two.

I agree, shame he lost in straight sets but I dont think he expected for a second that he would win

Twice now they've mentioned how this Jamaican (now German) guy "loves the grass"

Becker also said there's a new colour in Germany. Not sure if that was a slightly racist play on the guy's name (Brown) or a completely unintentional faux pas
