The Javea did not disappoint the fans and met forecasts to subdue Fernando Verdasco by an aggregate score of 6-3 and 6-2 after an hour and twenty minutes. The start of the match showed that the two Spanish are known perfectly. Minutes were both expected score in the bottom door, trying to gain ground with deep shock and right planes. It was David, much more regular than Fernando, was the first who enjoyed the other options. He had balls break in the fourth and sixth games, but it was not until the eighth game always key when a double fault from Madrid, the Alicante took advantage. The pupil of Javi Piles had to save a ball break then adversely before putting the finishing the first act with a go! Spanish copyright.

Verdasco slammed his racket to the dream, the result of the powerlessness of being behind on the scoreboard. To make matters worse, the Spaniard returned to give his service in the opening game of the second act and had to swim against the current. 7-0 fit a partial side and when he wanted back on track, though he tried, it was too late.
