Guillermo Garcia-Lopez clinched his first ATP Tour title by seeing off the challenge of Julien Benneteau in the final of the Austrian Open.

The Spaniard, ranked 74 in the world, dropped the first set but hit back to win 3-6 7-6 (7/1) 6-3.

Garcia-Lopez looked more comfortable throughout on the clay as Benneteau, who came into the tournament's main draw as a lucky loser, struggled for consistency.

The Frenchman won four games on the trot to take the opening set but missed out in the second set tie-break.

Garcia-Lopez was the better player in the decider and two breaks of the Benneteau serve confirmed the victory.
