Fletcher and Strickland have never met in a final, so this is new territory.

Dan shows why he will be remembered for a long time as one of the best ever as he wins his 48th final and is 13th on the all time list for wins.

Dan Fletcher's incremental margins MOV: 0.0023 seconds (approximately 5 inches).

Nice job, Fletch.
