Marcel Granollers won his second ATP title of the season on Sunday, as he edged past Juan Monaco in a thrilling Valencia Open 500 final. The Spaniard was forced to work incredibly hard for his success, as the match was eventually decided in a third set tie-breaker (6-2, 4-6, 7-6(3)).

"Winning here has been the biggest achievement in my whole career,” exclaimed a delighted Granollers after the contest. "It was a difficult moment for me, being a break down in the third. I kept fighting and at the end, I played very good.”

"Juan is a great player who fights for every point. There were very long games. The match was settled in the very last moment."

With victories against Alexandr Dolgopolov, Marin Cilic, Gael Monfils and Juan Martin Del Potro this week, the 25 year-old’s run here has been very impressive. Monaco, who also ousted some first class opposition, also has reason to be pleased. He remained fairly upbeat after the defeat.

“It has been a great week,” said Monaco. “I am satisfied with the work I have been doing… I think we both played a good match. The third set was pretty aggressive.”
