Robredo Tops Acasuso for 2nd Career ATP Sopot Title
Posted on August 6, 2007
Spaniard Tommy Robredo took advantage of one of the few remaining claycourt events on the ATP calendar on Sunday, scooping up ranking points with a 7-5, 6-0 win over unseeded Jose Acasuso to win the Orange Prokom Open in Sopot, Poland.
It was the first title of the year for the Top 10-ranked Robredo, who collected his second career Sopot title.
"It's my second title in Sopot and my fifth title overall -- hopefully it won't be my last," Robredo said. "It's the first time in my career I have won a tournament more than once and that's has been a goal. I'd like to be like [Carlos] Moya, who has won five titles in Umag."
While Robredo was dreaming of small-tournament antiquity, Acasuso dropped to 3-6 in career finals.
"I had a lot of chances in the first set with two set points," Acasuso said. "After the first set he played very good and I lost my focus. It's a great week for me and I hope in the future to play like this week and make more finals."
