Tsonga, Medvedev and Londero Take ATP World Tour Titles This Week

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

From the ATP World Tour:

Singles – Final
[WC] J. Tsonga (FRA) d [7] P. Herbert (FRA) 64 62
 
Doubles – Final
[1] I. Dodig (CRO) / E. Roger-Vasselin (FRA) d [WC] B. Bonzi (FRA) / A. Hoang (FRA) 64 63

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga captured his first ATP Tour title in more than 15 months on Sunday, beating countryman Pierre-Hugues Herbert 6-4, 6-2 at the Open Sud de France.

The 33-year-old, who last lifted a trophy in Antwerp (d. Schwartzman) in October 2017, dropped just four points behind his first serve (27/31) to triumph in 73 minutes. Ranked No. 210 in the ATP Rankings after missing seven months in 2018 following left knee surgery, Tsonga is the lowest-ranked ATP Tour titlist since Pablo Andujar lifted the Grand Prix Hassan II trophy in Marrakech 10 months ago.

“I am very happy with the way I played this week,” said Tsonga. “It was an amazing moment for me to win here in Montpellier… I have made many efforts to come back [here], so for me it is a good reward and I hope I will be able to continue playing at this level.”

Daniiil Medvedev

Singles – Final
[3] D. Medvedev (RUS) d M. Fucsovics (HUN) 64 63
 
Doubles – Final
N. Mektic (CRO) / J. Melzer (AUT) d C. Hsieh (TPE) / C. Rungkat (INA) 62 46 10-2

Daniil Medvedev continued his solid start to 2019 with another outstanding performance at the Sofia Open, defeating Marton Fucsovics 6-4, 6-3 in Sunday’s final.

The 22-year-old Russian, who improves to 11-2 this season, has become a staple of weekend play in ATP Tour events over the past six months. Since the 2018 US Open, Medvedev has reached at least the semi-finals in five of his past nine events. He made his maiden appearance in the second week of a Grand Slam earlier this year at the Australian Open. This is his second appearance in a championship match this season, after finishing runner-up in Brisbane (l. to Nishikori).

“I was feeling under pressure and really nervous, so I’m really happy that I managed to win the title,” said Medvedev. “Marton was playing good and was making some great shots, so I needed to stay present [in] every moment of the match and that is what I did.”

Singles – Final
[WC] J. Londero (ARG) d [8] G. Pella (ARG) 36 75 61

Doubles – Final
[3] R. Jebavy (CZE) / A. Molteni (ARG) d [1] M. Gonzalez (ARG) / H. Zeballos (ARG) 64 76(4)  

Juan Ignacio Londero could do no wrong this week at the Cordoba Open. The 25-year-old Argentine, who hadn’t played in a tour-level main draw before this week, won his maiden ATP Tour title on Sunday, beating countryman Guido Pella 3-6, 7-5, 6-1.

Londero, who was a wild-card entrant, was down a set and a break against the 28-year-old Pella, who also was going for his maiden ATP Tour title after losing his first three finals. But Londero stayed aggressive and took control of the final, with his forehand inflicting much of the damage and the Cordoba crowd carrying him to the finish.
