ATP wrap: Tiafoe breaks through, Schwartzman cracks top 20

American Frances Tiafoe hit consecutive aces on the final two points to clinch his first career ATP title with a 6-1 6-4 victory over Peter Gojowczyk at the Delray Beach Open on Sunday.

The 91st-ranked Tiafoe, who should move up about 30 spots in Monday’s new rankings, was playing in his first career tour-level final against the 64th-ranked Gojowczyk.

Tiafoe, 20, is the youngest American to win a title since a 19-year-old Andy Roddick won the 2002 Houston trophy.

Germany’s Gojowczyk was bothered by an upper left leg injury and received a couple of treatments during the match.

The first time Gojowczyk called for the trainer to wrap his thigh was when he was about to serve with Tiafoe leading 5-0 in the first set.

Schwartzman wins big

Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman beat Spain’s Fernando Verdasco 6-2 6-4 on Sunday to win the Rio Open for his second career title.

The 5-foot-7 Schwartzman, seeded sixth in the clay-court event at Jockey Club Brasileiro, will enter the top 20 in the world for the first time Monday.

He also won an outdoor clay event in Istanbul in 2016, but the Rio Open – an ATP 500 tournament – marks his biggest career title.

Ranked 23rd, Schwartzman beat Norway’s Casper Ruud, Argentina’s Federico Delbonis and France’s Gael Monfils en route to the final.

Verdasco was the tournament’s No.8 seed.

Khachanov beats Pouille for Marseille crown

Big-serving Karen Khachanov secured the second ATP title of his career after beating Lucas Pouille in straight sets in the Open 13 final.

The ninth-seeded Russian fired off 16 aces in a closely fought contest, winning 7-5 3-6 7-5 on his second match point when the third-seeded Frenchman netted from the back of the court.

“I hope there are many more finals between us in the future,” Khachanov said to Pouille.

“I felt I was playing good here from the first day. It’s nice to play on a full court in the final, and I hope to come back next year.”

Khachanov, ranked 47th, won his second title in as many finals after clinching the Chengdu Open in China two years ago.

Pouille missed out on a second title of the season and a sixth overall; the 16th-ranked Frenchman was also runner-up at the indoor event in the southern French city of Marseille last year.

“I’m from Dunkirk, in the north,” he told the crowd. “But I’m starting to feel at home here.”
