DELBONIS CAPTURES SECOND ATP WORLD TOUR CROWN
– Federico Delbonis will return to the Top 40 of the Emirates ATP Rankings after claiming his second ATP World Tour title in Marrakech.
– Delbonis fired four aces and saved all three break points faced to emerge with the trophy, denying Borna Coric’s bid to become the first teen titlist on the ATP World Tour since 2008.
– The 25 year old did not drop a set all week in the Moroccan city, joining doubles champions Guillermo Duran and Maximo Gonzalez in an all-Argentine winners’ circle.
– NextGen star Coric was seeking his first ATP World Tour title in his second final, having previously fallen to Stan Wawrinka in Chennai to open the season.
What The Players Said
Delbonis: “I’m very happy to win again on the ATP World Tour. I played at a great level today and it’s great to lift the trophy here. I took my chances, but it was not easy. In the end, I did my job and got the victory. This is what I work for. To win at this level, you have to be mentally focused the whole match.”
Coric: “It was a tough match for me today. I didn’t find any solutions. I had an opportunity in the second set but unfortunately I couldn’t break him. Nevertheless, I’m happy with my start in the clay season and I’m looking forward to Monte-Carlo next week.”
