Ferrero wins Casablanca crown
Spain's former world number one Juan Carlos Ferrero won his first title in more than five years on Sunday in taking the 450,000 euros Casablanca clay court event with a 6-4, 7-5 win over French fifth seed Florent Serra.
Ferrero, unseeded, came through from a field which was devoid of top 20 players and where Russian Igor Andreev was the top seed.
The Spanish veteran, who turned 29 in February and won the French Open in 2003 for his only Grand Slam, took his career haul to 12 singles titles and 397 match wins.
A catalogue of injury problems and consequent loss of form have seen his ranking tumble to 115, depriving him of a chance to have a crack at a third title in Monte Carlo this week.
