| Tsitsipas finally delivers on grass with triumph in Mallorca |
World number six Stefanos Tsitsipas claimed a first ATP Tour grass-court title with victory over veteran Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut in the final of the Mallorca Championships.
Tsitsipas, the tournamentโs second seed, won 6-4 3-6 7-6 (2) after two and a half hours to deliver his ninth tour victory.
The Greek had opened up an 4-0 lead before comfortably taking the first set, but Bautista Agut regained composure after trailing 3-1 in the second as he was cheered on by the home support to level the match.
Tsitsipas, though, was soon back in control after an early break and hold put him 4-1 in front.
Although Bautista Agut broke back when Tsitsipas was serving for the championship, it was the Greek who came through after taking command of the tie-break and this time he closed out victory.
