Notable stories

Nalbandian's achievements

David Nalbandian, who prior to the tournament had not even reached the semifinal stage of a tournament in the season, suddenly began playing superlative tennis, repeating Novak Djokovic's feat of the Canada Masters, of beating the world's top three players in three consecutive days, with Nalbandian doing it in order of 2 (Rafael Nadal), 3 (Novak Djokovic) and 1 (Roger Federer). The win also marked Nalbandian's first ever Masters Series title, though he had won the Tennis Masters Cup in 2005.
