Doubles – Final

Qualifier Bernard Tomic saved four match points to capture his first ATP World Tour trophy in more than three years on Sunday at the Chengdu Open. The Australian also denied top seed Fabio Fognini a piece of Italian tennis history over two hours and 15 minutes.

The 25-year-old Tomic, who recovered from 3/6 and 6/7 in the deciding set tie-break, dropped to the ground in celebration upon securing his first crown since July 2015 in Bogota (d. Mannarino). Fognini had been attempting to become the first Italian man to win four titles in a season.

“For me to win here is huge, one of the biggest [ATP World Tour] 250 tournaments in the world and it means that I’ll rise back up the ATP Rankings,” said Tomic, after clinching his fourth crown.

World No. 123 Tomic had previously recovered from 0/3 in the deciding set tie-break against Egor Gerasimov in the final round of qualifying last weekend, from 6-7(6), 1-3 in the first round against Bradley Klahn and he also saved one match point to beat Lloyd Harris in the second round on Wednesday.
