Ferrer wins Rio Open

David Ferrer cruised past Rafael Nadal’s conqueror Fabio Fognini to win the Rio Open for the first time yesterday.

The Spanish second seed needed just 83 minutes to dispatch the Italian 6-2 6-3 to add the Jockey Club Brasileiro crown to the Qatar ExxonMobil Open he won last month, taking his tally to two titles already in 2015.
