Second seed Ivan Ljubicic clinched the Ordina Open title with a three-set triumph over Dutch qualifier Peter Wessels in the final.

The Croatian - whose victory extends his country's dominance at the event in recent years, with Mario Ancic having won the last two crowns - overcame local favourite Wessels 7-6 (7/5) 4-6 7-6 (7/4).

It was the second title this season and the eighth career for the 28-year-old,

who fired 21 aces - including nine in the third set.

Earlier, Wessels had booked his place in the final by winning his rain-delayed semi against France's Anthony Dupuis.

Wessels, ranked 488 in the world, wrapped up a 7-6 (7/5) 7-6 (7/3) win when the match, which had been suspended on Friday because of the weather, resumed.
