Horna, Groenefeld Win 1st Titles at ATP Acapulco

Unseeded Peruvian Luis Horna upset No. 7 seed Juan Ignacio Chela 7-6(5), 6-4 Saturday at the ATP claycourt stop in Acapulco for his first career title.

"Winning your first title is an important moment in your career, and winning it at such a great event as Acapulco is even better," Horna said. "No doubt that I will always remember this moment. The key in today's match was that I was fit, after the long match I had yesterday, and that I served really well. I also had a little luck in the important moments which helped me to close the points."

In the women's final No. 2 seed Anna-Lena Groenefeld of Germany handed top-seeded Flavia Pennetta her second consecutive loss in a final 6-1, 4-6, 6-2.

The win was the first title for Groenefeld in her fourth career title. Groenefeld also won the doubles title, teaming with Meghann Shaughnessy as the top seeds to down No. 2 Asagoe/Loit 6-1, 6-3.

In the men's doubles final (1) Cermak/Friedl beat Starace/Volandri 7-5, 6-2 for their second title of the year.
