Stefanos Tsitsipas claimed his first title on grass Saturday after beating Roberto Bautista Agut 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7/2) in the Mallorca Open final.
World number six Tsitsipas held his nerve in a deciding tiebreak after failing to serve out the match at 5-3.
His ninth career title was also Tsitsipas’ second of the season after he retained his Monte Carlo title in April.
Tsitsipas, sixth in the rankings, has drawn Alexander Ritschard of Switzerland in the opening round of Wimbledon.
