Ramos-Vinolas Wins First ATP World Tour Title In Bastad

Spoiler:

Ramos-Vinolas triumphs in his second final
Albert Ramos-Vinolas played largely nerve-free tennis on Sunday to capture his first ATP World Tour singles title at the SkiStar Swedish Open over fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco.
Third seed Ramos-Vinolas became the fourth first-time ATP World Tour titlist of the year by beating fifth seed Verdasco 6-3, 6-4 in 86 minutes. Verdasco, who had a three-match winning streak against Ramos-Vinolas, also finished runner-up in the 2013 Bastad final (l. to Berlocq).

"If you don't play with focus 100 per cent of the time, you won't beat anybody," said Ramos-Vinolas. "At the changeover at 5-4 [in the second set], I thought that it was normal to lose my concentration when I was serving for my first title. I am very happy because I recovered well and I came back to win the next game.
"I returned well when he kicked-served to my backhand in the deuce court. I think that was the key to the match. I played just one final before, in Casablanca four years ago, and sometimes I thought I would never have another chance to win a tournament. But I am playing good tennis this year and I am working hard. I will keep working to have other chances."
Ramos-Vinolas earned €82,450 in prize money and 250 Emirates ATP Rankings points after the fourth all-Spanish Bastad final in the Open Era - also 1975 (Orantes d. Higueras), 2007 and 2012 (David Ferrer d. Nicolas Almagro). Former World No. 1 Bjorn Borg, the 1974 and 1978-79 Bastad champion, presented Ramos-Vinolas with the trophy.

Ramos-Vinolas got off to a strong start in his second final (2012 Casablanca), taking a 4-1 lead courtesy of service breaks in the third and fifth games. But the confidence of the World No. 35 was momentarily checked when he was broken to 15 by Verdasco in the sixth game. However, he broke for a third time to seal the 36-minute opener.
Ramos-Vinolas saved three break points in two service games of the second set prior to breaking Verdasco for a 5-3 lead. Ramos-Vinolas came within two points of winning, but blinked and gave Verdasco the opportunity to break to 30. But one game later, he joined Nick Kyrgios (Marseille), Diego Schwartzman (Istanbul) and Steve Johnson (Nottingham) as a first-time titlist in 2016. He improved to a 24-19 record on the season (18-12 on clay).
Verdasco, 32, had been attempting to lift his eighth tour-level crown and his second of 2016, following on from the BRD Nastase Tiriac Trophy (d. Pouille) in April. He leaves with €43,430 and 150 points.

First-Time Winner Spotlight: Albert Ramos-Vinolas

Spoiler:

Ramos-Vinolas speaks to ATPWorldTour.com after winning his first title
Albert Ramos-Vinolas beat fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 6-4 on Sunday at the SkiStar Swedish Open to capture his first ATP World Tour title. Former World No. 1 Bjorn Borg was on hand to present him with the trophy.
The 28-year-old Ramos-Vinolas, who beat two-time former champion David Ferrer in the semi-finals, had the best winning percentage in second serve points won (64 per cent) and return games won (48 per cent) during the ATP World Tour 250 tournament. It was his second ATP World Tour final, having finished runner-up at Casablanca in April 2012.
ATPWorldTour.com spoke to Ramos-Vinolas after his victory in the Swedish beach resort.
How does it feel to be holding your first ATP World Tour singles trophy?
I cannot be more happy, after a long time waiting. I have been working very hard.
Was this a goal as a junior to win an ATP World Tour title?
Everybody wants to win, or dreams of winning a title. It was the same for me. It was important for me to win one ATP World Tour title.
If you look back on your 2012 Casablanca final appearance, did you have a different approach this time around?
I think I have more experience now. I think today I concentrated more on myself, rather than thinking about playing in the final.
You beat two seeds this week in David Ferrer and Fernando Verdasco. What did you do especially well this week?
Both of the players were Top 10, winning a lot of titles. When you beat great players like this, you build your confidence.
What do you make of your year so far?
This year is going very well, especially the past two months. I think I was playing well before I reached the Roland Garros quarter-finals, but I didn't have a big result. I think my hard work is paying off, particularly in winning two matches on grass at Wimbledon. Hopefully, if I keep working hard I can produce more good results later in the year.
Now you're in the Top 30 of the Emirates ATP Rankings, do you have any new goals for the rest of 2016?
I still have the same goals, to work hard and to play as much as possible. I would like to concentrate on every practice and each match. I will then see where I am in the [Emirates ATP] Rankings.
What have you improved on this season?
I think I am playing better on my backhand side, which has given me more confidence and it has helped me to play better in defence and also when it comes to attacking. I think my forehand is the same.
Who were the players you looked up to growing up?
A lot of Spanish players. I can't tell you one, but I remember watching Sergi Bruguera and then Alex Corretja. They were two of my favourites. But we have had a lot of players to watch. I remember watching tennis all the time when I was young.
Tell us something about yourself that maybe people don't know?
When I am home, I relax with my girlfriend, friends and family. I train in the club where I first started to play. My coach, Jose Maria Diaz, is the director of the tennis school there. I also do my physical conditioning there.
Who have been the most important people in your career?
My parents, obviously, and my girlfriend, who I have been with for nine years. My coach, Jose, who isn't here this week, but he normally travels with me for 20 weeks of the year. He helped me when I was young and he always helps me find a way to improve. He is probably the most important person in my career.

Ramos-Vinolas Ousts Top Seed Murray

Spoiler:

Spaniard secures a first career win over a World No. 1 player
Albert Ramos-Vinolas recovered from a 0-4 deficit in the deciding set on Wednesday to record the biggest win of his career over World No. 1 Andy Murray at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters.
In a disjointed match, featuring 13 service breaks, the Spanish No. 15 seed wore down the Scot on another sun-kissed day 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 over two hours and 33 minutes.
Ramos-Vinolas denied Murray, a three-time semi-finalist at the Monte-Carlo Country Club, the 100th clay-court match win of his career (99-44). The 29 year old now moves on to play fifth-seeded Croatian Marin Cilic, on Friday. Cilic leads Ramos-Vinolas 3-1 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series.
“The most normal thing would be to lose the match,” said Ramos-Vinolas, when asked about his recovery from 0-4 in the third set. “But today it's one of those days that sometimes happens. I still fought. I was fighting. I was 0-4, and I thought that I need to keep playing every point. Then, at the end, I won. I don't know what to say.”
Murray gained a 2-0 lead, courtesy of breaking Ramos-Vinolas in an 18-point second game, but there followed four successive service breaks. Murray regained his composure, scrambling and frustrating Ramos-Vinolas with changes of pace in lengthy rallies. The Spaniard lost all four of his service games in the 49-minute set and eventually held serve in the 10th game of the match. It inspired a run of five straight games for the World No. 24.

In the decider, Murray surged to a 4-0 lead for the loss of three points, but Ramos-Vinolas responded and Murray, incredibly, came to serve at 4-4, 0/40. The top seed held his nerve, but remained unhappy, frequently looking to his coach, Jamie Delgado, sat courtside, for inspiration. The relentless power of Ramos-Vinolas’ forehand, aided by his scrambling abilities, began to pierce holes in Murray’s armoury and a service break to 30 gave Ramos-Vinolas a 6-5 lead. One match point opportunity went begging, with a backhand down the line narrowly wide. But Ramos-Vinolas booked a spot in his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 quarter-final on his second chance when Murray sliced a backhand drop shot into the net.
“At 4-0, one of the service games where I got broken, I didn't play such a good game,” said Murray.
“Then he obviously started playing better towards the end of the set. I still had a bunch of chances. I guess both of us did really. I think at 4-All, he had 0/40, too. I certainly struggled a bit at the end of the match.
“A few times today, I made some bad decisions. That's something that, with my team, I'll look at, watch some parts of the match over, see the shots that I chose and what I would do differently.”
Earlier in the day, Cilic beat fellow Monte-Carlo resident Tomas Berdych, the ninth seed and 2015 runner-up, 6-2, 7-6(0) in two hours.
