Delbonis/Gonzalez Triumph In Sao Paulo

Federico Delbonis won his maiden ATP World Tour singles title in Sao Paulo four years ago, so it was only fitting that he would find his doubles breakthrough at the Brasil Open, too. Delbonis partnered Maximo Gonzalez to cruise past recent New York Open finalists Wesley Koolhof and Artem Sitak 6-4, 6-2 on Sunday in 73 minutes to triumph at the Brasil Open, earning their first tour-level title as a team. It is Delbonis' first doubles crown and the fourth of Gonzalez's career. The pair had only won a single match together (1-2) at the tour-level prior to the week. "It's great. First time in singles, first time in doubles. I think it's a special city for me," Delbonis said...

Fantastic Fabio! Fognini Triumphs In Sao Paulo

If Nicolas Jarry was nervous at the start of his maiden ATP World Tour championship match on Sunday, he certainly did not show it. The 22-year-old won the first 13 points of the Brasil Open final, using his thunderous forehand to race to a one-set lead against Fabio Fognini in just 22 minutes. The Chilean then held break point in the opening game of the second set, but sailed a forehand long while in control of the rally — an unforced error he will rue. From then on, Fognini dug into the red clay in Sao Paulo, and the top-ranked Italian found his game to defeat Jarry 1-6, 6-1, 6-4 in one hour, 33 minutes for his first title since...

Ball Dogs Back In Brazil!

The players have provided countless thrills at the Brasil Open in Sao Paulo this week. But they were not the only stars sprinting around the red clay. That’s right — the ball dogs were back in action, partaking in a special exhibition on Saturday that featured ATP World Tour-ranked Brazilian Eduardo Russi Assumpcao, Brazilian junior Gustavo Pereira and Argentina’s Davis Cup captain Daniel Orsanic. New Zealand's Artem Sitak also saw some of the action. “It was very entertaining, and lots of fun. Cool little thing that was added to an already awesome atmosphere at the stadium,” Sitak said. It is the third year in a row that the ball dogs have participated in the indoor red-clay event, showing their skills...

Jarry: 'It's Been A Heck Of A Ride'

Chilean Nicolas Jarry had four match points on Horacio Zeballos’ serve as the Argentine attempted to stay in their Brasil Open semi-final at 3-5 in the third set. For Jarry, a 22-year-old searching for his first ATP World Tour final, the missed opportunity could have sent countless thoughts racing through his mind during the changeover. The grandson of former World No. 14 Jaime Fillol had his country’s expectations on his shoulders as he attempted to become the first Chilean to reach a final in nearly a decade (Fernando Gonzalez, 2009 Vina del Mar). So what was he thinking during the sit-down? “Nothing. Just breathe. I played them all well,” Jarry told ATPWorldTour.com. “I stayed calm and just tried to serve...
