MONACO WINS SECOND HOUSTON TITLE, NINTH OVERALL

– Monaco missed six months last fall and earlier this year due to surgery on his right wrist in August. He wins his first tournament since May 2013 (Dusseldorf).
– The Argentine was playing in his fifth tournament of 2016. His previous best this year had been a second-round appearance.
– Sock, the 2015 Houston champion, was trying to win back-to-back titles for the first time.

What The Players Said
Juan Monaco: “It’s amazing. Feels amazing to hold that trophy again… It’s almost like a dream come true… The hard work really paid off… Today was a quick movie of my life.”

Jack Sock: “I’m not sure exactly what happened with my body. Last night I didn’t feel great, was sweating even in a very air-conditioned room. So maybe coming down with something. But it doesn’t take away from his battle and his fight today.”
