Antalya Open: Japan's Yuichi Sugita wins first ATP Tour title


Japan's Yuichi Sugita won his first ATP Tour title with victory over Adrian Mannarino in the final of the Antalya Open.

The 28-year-old has surged up the rankings this season to 66 and defeated Frenchman Mannarino 6-1 7-6 (7/4).

Sugita is just the third Japanese player to win a title on the ATP Tour, following on from Shuzo Matsuoka and Kei Nishikori.

He has shown fine form on grass this season, also winning a title on the second-tier Challenger Tour, and will head into his first-round match at Wimbledon against Britain's Brydan Klein on Tuesday full of confidence.
