David Nalbandian claimed consecutive ATP Masters Series titles with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over World No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the final of the BNP Paribas Masters.

Nalbandian becomes the first man since Marat Safin in 2004 to win the Paris and Madrid Masters series titles back-to-back.

Nalbandian became the first player to defeat World No. 1 Roger Federer and World No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the same tournament twice (he also did it in Madrid), and became the first man to defeat both in a final.

Nalbandian, who began the week at No. 25 in the ATP Race, surged to ninth, missing out by one place on qualifying for Tennis Maters Cup Shanghai, where he was the champion in 2005. En route to the title Nalbandian defeated four Shanghai qualifiers: Roger Federer, David Ferrer, Richard Gasquet and Nadal.
