Cressy, 25, lost the first set and then dropped the first three
games of the second set before rallying past Bublik. The UCLA
product overcame 13 double faults while prevailing in two hours
and 23 minutes in his third career final.
Bublik had 10 aces against seven double faults and wilted after
owning the big lead. He dropped to 1-5 in career finals, the win
coming in February when he upset Alexander Zverev at the Open
Sud de France.
Nordea Open
Francisco Cerundolo picked up his first career ATP victory by
notching a 7-6 (4), 6-2 victory over Argentine countrymate
Sebastian Baez to win the Nordea Open in Bastad, Sweden.
Cerundolo saved nine of 10 break points while dispatching the
eighth-seeded Baez. The 23-year-old is forecasted to break into
the Top 30 in the rankings for the first time.
After losing the first game of the second set, Cerundolo won the
next five games to seize control. Baez won just 53.3 percent of
his first-serve points and converted only one of 10 break
points.
