Mikhail Youzhny wins the Chennai Open


Mikhail Youzhny wins this year's Chennai Open and also a prize money of almost $69000. He crushed Nadal, the second ranked male in what was a one sided affair. Nadal, at any point of the match was not at his best and felt fatigue after gruelling matches he had played. The semifinal match against Moya would have taken a lot of toll on him. The final lasted for just 57 minutes with Youzhny winning it 6-0 6-1. Nadal could not do anything and he had only 17 winners. Youzhny had a solid serve with volleys firing from his racket with a pin point accuracy. This was the most one sided final in recent times but full credit goes to Youzhny who won his 4th ATP tour title.
