COSTA DO SAUIPE, Brazil (AP)—Top-seeded Juan Carlos Ferrero beat Lukasz Kubot of Poland 6-1, 6-0, to win the Brazil Open on Sunday.
The former No. 1 ranked player needed only one hour to become the third Spaniard in a row to win the clay-court event. Nicolas Almagro won the title in 2008 and Tommy Robredo last year.
Kubot repeatedly missed his first serve, giving Ferrero too much help. The Spanish player was 5-0 up in the second set and broke Kubot's serve to clinch the title.
