Correjta spanks the Cold Fish!!!!
KITZBUEHEL, Austria (AP) -- Alex Corretja beat French Open finalist Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-4, 6-1, 6-3 Sunday to win the $1 million Generali Open for the second time.
Corretja, a Spaniard seeded eighth, knocked off French Open champion and top-seeded Albert Costa in the quarterfinals en route to his 17th career ATP Tour title.
He also won this clay-court event in 2000.
"I think I played one of my best tennis tournaments this year. I beat three of the top players on clay. Now I just feel incredibly happy," Corretja said.
He's the first player to win the Generali Open without dropping a set since Filip Dewulf of Belgium in 1997.
"Not dropping a set is incredible. I hope next time I do drop one, I will not smash my racket against the fence," said Corretja, who won $140,000 to push his career earnings near $10 million.
The Cold Fish had 43 unforced errors.
