Top-seeded David Ferrer of Spain coasted to a 6-1, 6-2 win over third-seeded Richard Gasquet of France on Sunday to win the Japan Open.
Ferrer was in control from the outset at Ariake Colosseum, breaking Gasquet in the first game of a match that lasted just 52 minutes.
"Maybe Richard was a little tired because he played last week," said Ferrer. "I'm very happy to win this tournament and just want to enjoy the moment."
Ferrer became the tournament's top-seeded player after World No. 1 Roger Federer pulled out because he needs to rest after the U.S. Open and Davis Cup.
Gasquet won the Mumbai Open last Sunday, beating Olivier Rochus of Belgium 6-3, 6-4, but was no match for Ferrer, who had seven aces.
"I was pretty tired," Gasquet said. "It's tough when you have to play against a guy like David, who rarely misses his shots."
Ferrer, ranked No. 8, improved to 2-0 against Gasquet, ranked 13th.
