It was a day on which Costa could hardly miss and one which he will remember for the rest of his life as he joined a list of Spanish heroes who have made the French Centre Court their own.
Generous and softly spoken off the court, Costa was a tyrant on it, cruelly shredding Ferrero's hopes with razor-sharp groundstrokes and pinpoint serving.
Ferrero -- surely a champion in waiting -- was gracious in defeat, but did say he had been hampered by a niggling injury.
Costa won the French Open on Sunday, using steady tennis and benefitting from the error-filled play of fellow Spaniard Juan CarlosFerrero for a 6-1, 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 victory.
The 22-year-old Ferrero was playing for just the third time at Roland Garros and made the semifinals in his first two tries, but he made 60 unforced errors to only 48 for Costa.
Costa hit an ace to hold his serve for a 2-1 lead and then breezed, twice breaking his younger opponent's serve.
