Dzumhur beats Fognini for first ATP title

Sep 24, 2017 - 5:49 PM Damir Dzumhur captured his first ATP Tour title with a three-set victory over Fabio Fognini in the final of the St Petersburg Open.

Dzumhur, who is the first player from Bosnia and Herzegovina to win a top-level singles title, recovered from losing the first set to win 3-6 6-4 6-2 and improve his record since the end of July to 15-3.

Third seed Fognini, who had saved two match points against top seed Roberto Bautista-Agut in the semi-finals, cruised through the opening set with two breaks of serve, but crucially lost four games in a row from 4-4 in the second.

That included losing his serve in the opening game of the decider and a second break in the seventh game helped sealed victory for Dzumhur.
