The mens final in Acapulco pitted best friends, business partners, and Spanish Davis Cup teammates against eachother.  For the 2nd straight week David Ferrer and Juan Carlos Ferrero met in the finals of an ATP Tour tournament being played on clay.  Last week it was Ferrero winning in Buenos Aires, and this week Ferrer took his revenge with a tough victory over his BFF 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.  Ferrero and Ferrer now can discuss how their names are oh-so similar and how they will attack the Swiss Davis Cup Team this coming weekend, as they will be the two singles players on the Spanish team.  This was a great win for Daveeeeed and put him in the winners circle for the first time in almost two years.  The win moved Ferrer up one spot to #16 in the world, and Ferrero's current hot streak has moved him up to #14.
