Bruguera Wins Senior Title at Algarve
Posted on August 13, 2007Sergi Bruguera beat Fernando Meligeni 6-1, 6-4 in the Algarve final to win his fourth consecutive title on the BlackRock Tour of Champions in 2007. He remains unbeaten this year at 16-0.
"It feels great -- I'm playing even better than when I retired," Bruguera said. "I have no idea where this form has come from, but I'm hitting with a lot of confidence. You could not get a nicer to place to play than here at Vale Do Lobo, so that helps as well."
In the third/fourth place playoff, Cedric Pioline beat Thomas Muster 6-4, 2-6, 10-7.
The tour next moves to Graz with Goran Ivanisevic and Pat Cash set to take on Muster, Bruguera and Michael Stich.
"I played my best tennis of the week against Pioline today, and it puts me in good form ahead of Graz, which is the most important event of the year for me," Muster said.
