LONDON: Feliciano Lopez won the Queen’s Club title in dramatic fashion as the Spaniard saved a match point before defeating Marin Cilic 4-6, 7-6 (7/2), 7-6 (10/8) on Sunday. Trailing by a set to the big-serving Cilic, Lopez held his nerve in a gripping finale to overwhelm the world number seven and secure his first ATP title since Gstaad in July 2016. It was a sweet moment for world number 32 Lopez, who held a championship point in the 2014 Queen’s final before losing in three sets to Grigor Dimitrov. The 35-year-old avenged that painful loss by beating Dimitrov in the semi-finals on Saturday and now he has his hands on the trophy at last. It is Lopez’s third title on grass after winning Eastbourne in 2013 and 2014. Published in Daily Times, June 26th, 2017.
