Tennis-Albot beats Evans to become first Moldovan to win ATP title

Radu Albot saved three championship points to beat Dan Evans 3-6 6-3 7-6(7) in the Delray Beach Open final in Florida on Sunday and become the first player from Moldova to win an ATP title. In a high-quality match that stretched for nearly three hours, Albot displayed nerves of steel in the dramatic final tiebreak, staving off defeat with a series of clutch shots before Briton Evans crumbled with a double-fault on his first match point.

Evans was also seeking his first career title, 10 months after returning from a year-long cocaine suspension. (Reporting by Andrew Both in Cary, North Carolina; Editing by Ian Ransom)
