David is still Number 1
“King” David showed his rank again in the Paris Masters Series: he taught a tennis lesson to his fellow team member and friend Juan Martín Del Potro, defeating him 6-4, 6-0 in the fourth round. This is his second consecutive victory over the man from Tandil in the last two weeks; he beat him in the Basel ATP. This way, the man from Córdoba keeps for the time being the position of number one in the country. The man from Unquillo surpassed "Delpo" in all aspects of the game; he also surpassed the man from Tandil in serves, which was striking since these are the Del Potro’s strong shots. The match lasted one hour and nine minutes. Now Nalbandian is to face the British Murray or the Spaniard Verdasco in quarterfinals of the last tournament of the year in the regular circuit of the ATP.
