STOCKHOLM (AP) — Top-seeded Tomas Berdych beat defending champion Grigor Dimitrov 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 Sunday to win the Stockholm Open for the second time.
Berdych claimed his 10th career title despite wasting a 5-3 lead in the first set. He broke Dimitrov early in each of the next two sets to wrap up the win and stay on course to qualify for the season-ending ATP finals in London.
Dimitrov was bidding to claim his fourth title of the year but slipped further behind Andy Murray in his attempt to qualify for London.
