Stefanos Tsitsipas retained an ATP Tour title for the first time on Sunday, beating Felix Auger-Aliassime to lift his second Open 13 Provence trophy in Marseille.
This is the second straight year in which Tsitsipas has lifted the Marseille trophy without dropping a set. The 21-year-old lost in the first round in his first two appearances at the tournament, but has now won eight straight matches at the French ATP 250. Tsitsipas is the first man since Thomas Enqvist in 1998 to win back-to-back Marseille crowns.
“I am really happy that I get to break records and be part of some records. It is what keeps me going in the sport,” said Tsitsipas. “It makes me hungry for more, in general. I want to go out there and break records and do things that others haven’t done yet. That’s what defines my personality.”

Chilean Cristian Garin won his fourth ATP Tour title on Sunday, defeating Italian qualifier Gianluca Mager 7-6(3), 7-5 to triumph at the Rio Open presented by Claro.
It was the second win of the day for the third seed, who completed a rain-suspended semi-final victory against fifth seed Borna Coric earlier in the afternoon. Garin now owns a personal-best nine-match winning streak, having also lifted the trophy at the Cordoba Open.
“I think this is a gift from all those years working hard, suffering. This is my dream. I’m enjoying it,” Garin said. “I didn’t expect this ever in my life. I’m so, so happy.”

Reilly Opelka battled through two three-setters on Sunday to capture the Delray Beach Open by VITACOST.com title. After beating former World No. 3 Milos Raonic in the semi-finals earlier in the day, he defeated Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka 7-5, 6-7(4), 6-2 to lift the trophy.
Opelka is the fourth American in five years to triumph in Delray Beach. He is now a two-time ATP Tour champion after earning the crown at last year’s New York Open. The 22-year-old hit 27 aces against Nishioka in the championship match.
“I’m just really proud of the way I fought in the third set,” Opelka said of his win against Nishioka. “I got an early break and I broke again. Physically I was feeling pretty good. If he broke me and we had to play more tennis, I was fine.”
