The 34-year-old beat the Spanish first seed 6-2 6-7(5) 7-6(5)
in the ATP 250 clay court tournament, a day after he played in
and lost his first doubles final on tour.
"I was nervous at the beginning but thank God I was able to win
the first ATP (tournament) in Quito and the first for me,"
Estrella Burgos was quoted as saying by Ecuadorean daily El
Comercio.
The world number 73 rated his good preparation for the rarefied
air at nearly 3,000 meters in Quito, saying: "Today I felt as if
I was playing at sea level. I felt very good on court."
