The Italian Fabio Fognini saved three Championship points to win the Bet-at-Home German Tennis Championships in Hamburg today, defeating the Argentinian qualifier Federico Delbonis, 4-6, 7-6(8), 6-2. \u00a0This is the 2nd final in as many weeks for Fognini, who also won in Stuttgart last week.<\/p>\n

Delbonis, who is 22, ranked 114, and playing in his first ATP final, broke the Italian at 4-5 to take the first set, and had 4-1 in the second. \u00a0He was holding his nerve the better of the two players, though the Italian fought back to get the second to a tie-breaker. \u00a0Delbonis had 3 match points in the breaker, but the moment did finally seem to get to him, and Fognini was determined. \u00a0Still, the up-and-comer from Argentina will move to #64 when the rankings come out tomorrow, and is someone to watch.<\/p>\n

Fognini seems to be bringing a new consistency to his game. \u00a0He had a fantastic week, and in the end the day was his.<\/p>\n
