Nishikori, Sharapova clinch titles
Print Edition
JAPAN’S Kei Nishikori sealed his fifth career ATP title and first on clay yesterday with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Colombian Santiago Giraldo to claim the Barcelona Open. Nishikori, who was playing for the first time on clay this week under new coach and former French Open champion Michael Chang, becomes the first non-Spaniard to win the event since 2002.
Giraldo was playing in just his second career final on the tour and his inexperience showed as Nishikori dictated from the off and broke three times on his way to taking the first set.
Also, Maria Sharapova claimed a hat-trick of Stuttgart titles after coming from behind to win a three-set battle royal with Ana Ivanovic in Germany.
Having won the 2012 and 2013 titles, the 27-year-old Sharapova powered past Ivanovic to claim a 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory in just over two hours.
