Juan Martin del Potro won his first title since the 2009 US Open when he beat Janko Tipsarevic in the final of the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships. The Argentinian defeated the sixth-seeded Serbian 6-4 6-4 to pass another milestone in his comeback from injury.
A former world number four, Del Potro saw his 2010 campaign derailed by a right wrist injury that required surgery and limited him to just three tournaments all year. However, on Sunday, he needed 114 minutes to secure his triumph and left Tipsarevic still seeking a first career ATP Tour title.
Del Potro went into the event following back-to-back semi-finals in San Jose and Memphis.
The winner said: “I’m trying to improve my game day-by-day and today Janko played better than me but I had a little luck in the important moments.”
