Nalbandian posed with some Paris models after his victory
David Nalbandian capped a stunning late-season surge by thrashing world number two Rafael Nadal 6-4 6-0 to win the Paris Masters.
The Argentine inflicted Nadal's first ever defeat in the French capital to lift his second Masters trophy in a row following his Madrid win.
Nalbandian beat Nadal and world number one Roger Federer at both tournaments.
The 25-year will be rewarded with a return to the top 10 when the new rankings are released on Monday.
He is now the first alternate for the end-of-season Masters Cup, and with rumours suggesting Andy Roddick could pull out, Nalbandian could yet go to Shanghai.
He was in exactly the same position in 2005 when he stepped in for Roddick and went on to win the title with a famous five-set win over Federer.
