Spain’s Nicolas Almagro is just one win away from becoming the first player to win three of the four Latin American clay court tournaments in the same season when he faces David Ferrer in the final of Acapulco. Since the swing began in 2001, linking Santiago, Chile; Costa do Sauipe, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Acapulco, Mexico; no player has won more than two titles in the one year. "It's been an incredible South American swing for me and I hope I can finish brilliantly," said Almagro, who has won nine career titles, all on clay, with five of those having come in Latin America.—Matthew Cronin
