Argentine David Nalbandian won his first two matches in the champions tiebreak but he didn't get lucky the third time around. After two sets and two rain delays, in the end it was David Ferrer, who prevailed 7-5, 4-6, 10-6.

The two Davids have practiced together at Stoke Park this week and they know each other well. On court, they've faced each other already twelve times, including at Masters events, Slams and in Davis Cup. And at the start of this season, they met in the final at Auckland. Back then, Ferrer won in straights and he also holds the upper hand in terms of the match record (7-5).

Climbing one place in ATP rankings, Nalbandian is now 23rd with 1425 points. He will face Julian Reister of Germany in the first round of Wimbledon.
