CH Poznań: 11-0 w finałach CH.

Poznan Open (Poznan, Poland): Exactly how ruthless is Pablo Carreno Busta in finals on the ATP Challenger Tour? The top seeded Spaniard improved to a perfect 11-0 in title matches, defeating fourth seed Radu Albot 6-4, 6-4 in Poznan, Poland. Carreno Busta needed one hour and 36 minutes to seal the win, saving four of five break points faced. Closing in on a return to the Top 50 of the Emirates ATP Rankings, he is the 14th player to capture multiple titles on the Challenger circuit this year.

Carreno Busta Soars In Sao Paulo

Spoiler:

Pablo Carreno Busta will represent the whole of Spain in the Brasil Open final after downing countryman Inigo Cervantes 6-1, 6-1 on Saturday in just 52 minutes to advance to his first ATP World Tour final. Currently ranked No. 67 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, Carreno Busta will reach a career-high rank next Monday.
“I did not expect to win like this,” Carreno Busta said. “I played against Inigo a couple of weeks ago and it was a very difficult match, so I expected the same today, but it was not like that.
“I think I played well, not as well as yesterday but also I think he was a little bit nervous. I took advantage of that. I’m very happy to make my first final. It was my third semi-final and finally I ended as a winner. I’m very happy for that, but especially because of the way I’m playing at the moment."
Carreno Busta’s Brazil swing has been full of run-ins with familiar opponents. The 24 year old was eliminated by Rafael Nadal in Rio de Janeiro last week before defeating four fellow Spaniards (Ramos-Vinolas, Gimeno-Traver, Carballes Baena and Cervantes) en route to the Sao Paulo final.
In the final, Carreno Busta will face defending champion Pablo Cuevas. The 30-year-old Uruguayan used his experience to down Dusan Lajovic 6-3, 6-4 and will be going for a second title in two weeks after winning in Rio. Cuevas outplayed his Serbian opponent on big points, converting all three break point opportunities while holding Lajovic to one service break (1/8).
“I’m playing very calmly right now, with a lot of confidence,” Cuevas said. “I know there will be difficult moments during the match but I’ll be facing those with tranquility and confidence.”
The two Pablos have met once at tour-level, with Cuevas leading the FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry thanks to a win on hard court in Valencia 2015.
“[Cuevas] just came off a great tournament last week in Rio, beating great players and winning the trophy and that speaks to his level right now,” Carreno Busta noted.
Carreno Busta To Pull Double Duty
The first-time singles finalist Carreno Busta will also play for the Brasil Open doubles title on Sunday, as he and partner David Marrero defeated Andrej Martin and Hans Podlipnik-Castillo 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 Saturday afternoon. Both teams saved four of five break points faced, but the eventual winners only dropped one point on serve in the Match Tie-break to secure the win. Carreno Busta won his first doubles title in Quito earlier this year (w/ Duran).
Opposing the Spaniards in the final will be Julio Peralta and Horacio Zeballos, who eased past Guillermo Duran and Andres Molteni 6-1, 6-4 in just under one hour. Peralta/Zeballos only lost one first serve point in the entire match (24/25).

Carreno Busta Clinches Maiden ATP World Tour Title

Spoiler:

Spaniard fights off countryman to win in his third final
Pablo Carreno Busta overcame countryman Roberto Bautista Agut 6-7(6), 7-6(1), 6-4 to win his first ATP World Tour singles title on Saturday at the Winston-Salem Open.
The 25 year old, who was playing in the third singles final of his career, had been unable to clinch his maiden title earlier this season on both the clay of Estoril and Sao Paulo. But on the hard courts in Winston-Salem, the Barcelona resident rallied after losing the first set to hoist his first championship trophy after two hours and 33 minutes on court.
“It's an amazing feeling. I worked very hard to be here and now I have to enjoy this moment," Carreno Busta said. “To [beat] Roberto you have to fight because he's a really tough player. He's a Spanish player like me. It's not easy to play against another Spanish player.”
Carreno Busta, seeded 16th, is the sixth first-time winner on the ATP World Tour this season. Players trying to win their first title are now 6-11 this year.

Second seed Bautista Agut was trying to win his third title of the season (Sofia, Auckland). The World No. 17 was up a break in the second set but Carreno Busta was able to break right back to get to 3-all. Bautista Agut struggled in the second-set tie-break, hitting two double faults and all of a sudden the match was tied.

"I had many chances to get closer to the win today but I didn't [take] the chances," Bautista Agut said. "I didn't play well when I was set and break up. Tennis is like this, no? When you have the chance and you don't [take] it, then you lose.”
In the third, Carreno Busta relentlessly attacked his countryman's backhand, not letting Bautista Agut run around his backhand to smack a forehand. The strategy worked as Carreno Busta broke at 3-2 and didn't face a break point in the third set. He struck an ace on his first match point.
Carreno Busta will receive 250 Emirates ATP Rankings points and $85,625. Bautista Agut will receive 150 Emirates ATP Rankings points and $48,750.
Bautista Agut said he still felt good about the week in Winston-Salem. He accepted a late wild card into the tournament.
"I came here to play some matches," he said. "So it was a positive week for me."

First-Time Winner Spotlight: Pablo Carreno Busta

Spoiler:

Youngest Spaniard in Top 100 talks about his first title with ATPWorldTour.com
How does it feel to be standing with the trophy as a first-time winner? Are you a little surprised it came on hard court?
This is amazing. This is an incredible feeling. To win my first ATP World Tour title and then playing against Bautista [Agut], a top player, is really tough. It was a really tough match. But it's amazing. I fought all the time, all week. I think I'm very, very, very, very happy.
Was this something you dreamed about growing up and playing as a junior, to win an ATP World Tour title?
Yeah. To win my first ATP World Tour title is a dream because you can play finals and I played two this year. But when you continue working and you continue fighting all the time and finally the result arrives, for me, it's really, really good.
What was your approach going into your third final of the season? You were in previous two finals – Sao Paulo, Estoril – both on clay. Did you have a different mindset going into today?
No. This was on hard court. Maybe it was the most difficult of the other two finals. No, you have to try to do your best and I tried. And when you are playing good, like this week, I think I was playing very good. I was serving really well. You never know when you'll win the final.
YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Carreno Busta Clinches Maiden ATP World Tour Title
You defeated the No. 2 seed Roberto Bautista Agut and the No. 3 seed Pablo Cuevas along the way. What did you do well this week to put all of those good results together?
I think I'm being more aggressive with my game. It's really important to be aggressive with your serve and then with your return and when you are playing the rallies, you need to be able to be [more aggressive] because if you're not aggressive, the opponent has the key to win the matches.
Now that you've won your first ATP World Tour title, what are the goals you have for the rest of the season?
This is amazing but we have to continue this way. This is a good way and I'm looking to continue like this – working hard and with confidence. I'm playing good, with confidence. And this week, in two days I will play at the US Open in New York so I have to continue focusing on trying to do my best all the time. Then we'll have three months more of this year, we'll try to do our best.
You're the seventh different Spanish winner this year. The youngest of 11 Spaniards in the Top 100. How do view the state of Spanish tennis?
I think the Spanish players are making something great. It's not easy to make a lot of champions like we are and win tournaments. Nadal, Ferrer, now Bautista [Agut] is a top player... All the Spanish players can win a tournament.
You've had a lot of support in your development throughout your career. Who are the people who allowed you to get to this level and you'd like to thank?
I have to say thank you to all the people who helped me to arrive here. It's not just my team... All the people who worked with me, who supported me, all my family, of course. All the people who support me all the time, when I win, when I lose. And I think I have to say thank you to everybody because without their support, this is not easy and I think it's impossible.
What do you consider the strength and the best part of your game?
My serve, because I'm serving really good. I'm serving better but I think it's not enough. I can do it better. And then I have to continue being aggressive. … In this tournament I played a little bit better than the rest of the year. But the rest of the year, it was really good also. So I need to continue this way.
Is there a player you grew up admiring?
Yeah, I watched the matches of [Juan Carlos] Ferrero. Of course he was my hero, and now I practise at his academy. Imagine for me, it's really special. This moment is really special.
What do you like to do away from tennis?
I don't have time now, unfortunately. We go now to New York. Tomorrow I will practice again... I play on Tuesday.

Carreno Busta Beats Fognini For Moscow Crown

Spoiler:

Spaniard wins second title of the season
Pablo Carreno Busta overcame injury and a set deficit to celebrate his second career ATP World Tour title on Sunday at the VTB Kremlin Cup in Moscow. The Spaniard outlasted Italian Fabio Fognini 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 inside Olympic Stadium.
Carreno Busta won nearly 70 per cent of his first-serve points and benefitted from six Fognini double faults in the one-hour and 56-minute final. He also padded his already impressive 2016 résumé.
The 25 year old has captured two ATP World Tour titles this season, having won the Winston-Salem Open crown in August (d. Bautista Agut). Carreno Busta finished runner-up on clay in Estoril and Sao Paulo. The Barcelona resident also became the third Spaniard to win two ATP World Tour titles this season, joining Rafael Nadal (Monte-Carlo, Barcelona) and Roberto Bautista Agut (Auckland, Sofia). Spanish players have won 10 titles this season, the most of any nation.
“When you win your first title, it's a really special one but this one is special also,” Carreno Busta said. “In both finals, I lost the first set. But then I continued fighting and I continued believing in myself, and at the end, I won the match and the tournament.”
Player 2016 Title(s)
Roberto Bautista Agut Auckland, Sofia
Pablo Carreno Busta Winston-Salem, Moscow
Rafael Nadal Monte-Carlo, Barcelona
Nicolas Almagro Estoril
Feliciano Lopez Gstaad
Albert Ramos-Vinolas Bastad
Fernando Verdasco Bucharest
This week was Carreno Busta's first time playing on the indoor courts in Moscow, but he looked comfortable and showed off his resiliency throughout the title run. The sixth seed won three of his five matches in three sets, including his title match against Fognini, who was going for his first career ATP World Tour hard-court title.

The 29-year-old Italian jumped out in front but Carreno Busta came back and was leading 4-1 in the second set before he pulled up with a right thigh injury. The Spaniard was hobbling on the court and looked to be in pain, but his thigh was heavily wrapped during a medical timeout, and he was sprinting around the court the next game.
He won the second set and broke Fognini twice in the third set, ending the match with an overhead winner. Carreno Busta will receive 250 Emirates ATP Rankings points and $126,850.
“I tried to play my match and not focus on him,” Carreno Busta said.
Fognini was playing in his 12th career ATP World Tour final and was trying to win his fifth career title. All four of Fognini's previous titles have come on clay. He also was going for his second title of the season, having hoisted the Umag trophy in July. He will receive 150 Emirates ATP Rankings points and $66,815.
“I always play good here,” said Fognini, who also reached the St. Petersburg final in 2012. “So Russia brings me luck.”
