Doubles – Final

Despite the rain delay, Radu Albot made history on Sunday at the Delray Beach Open by becoming the first Moldovan to win an ATP Tour title, in his first ATP Tour-level final, saving three championship points in final and defeating British qualifier Daniel Evans 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(7).

“It feels unbelievable. You work so much. You work your whole life, your whole career, and at the end you win a tournament,” Albot said. “This is just a great feeling. I think it’s difficult to put into words.”

“I have to give (Albot) credit,” said Evans.” I thought he played great in the moments when he needed to play great.” Evans who came into the tournament as a qualifier upset second seed John Isner in the semifinals.

Albot will rise from 82 to 52 in the world.

In doubles, the Bryan brothers captured their 117th title as a team.

“We don’t want to stop here,” Bob Bryan said. “We want to keep rolling and hold up bigger [trophies], hopefully a Masters series in the near future and then a GS [grand slam].”

Bob returned to the tour from hip surgery just last month.

“It’s been the week of my dreams. So many things have been achieved here,” said Djere. “I’m really happy, excited and emotional now. I’m happy I could push through this match because it was very tough mentally and physically.”
