Sunday was not Max Mirnyi’s first trip to titletown — not even close. But it will certainly be a moment that the 40 year old won’t soon forget.

Mirnyi won his 50th ATP World Tour doubles title, joining Philipp Oswald to defeat singles champion Damir Dzumhur and Antonio Sancic, 6-3, 7-5, in the final of the VTB Kremlin Cup.

“You never can say the victory was easy just looking at the score,” Mirnyi said. “There is always a special pressure when you are playing at home. And I think the VTB Kremlin Cup is a home tournament for me as unfortunately we haven’t got an ATP tournament in Minsk…many of my relatives and friends came to watch my matches and that is the one more reason to show your best. And when you managed to do this, it is a great pleasure.”

It was the Belarusian’s fifth VTB Kremlin Cup title with his fifth different partner. In his career, Mirnyi has partnered 19 different players to at least one title, starting with Kevin Ullyett in Shanghai 20 years ago.

Sunday’s victory was his first since capturing last year’s Abierto Mexicano Telcel with Treat Huey.

Mirnyi/Oswald did not drop a set en route to the title, with this event their fourth main draw appearance together. Oswald leaves Moscow with his third title this season after winning the Ecuador Open (w/Cerretani) and the J. Safra Sarasin Swiss Open (w/Marach).

“It means a lot because when you look at the list of winners with Max, he’s won this tournament five times with Federer and all those top stars and now it also says 50th title with Oswald,” Oswald said. “Partnering with Max is like being in an elite club of top players.”

Mirnyi has won three of his 50 titles with Roger Federer, with two in 2002 (Rotterdam, Moscow) and another in 2003 (Miami).

Dzumhur came close to becoming the first player to win both the singles and doubles title in Moscow in the same year since Nikolay Davydenko in 2004.

It was Sancic’s second doubles final. He lost in the final of the Plava Laguna Croatia Open Umag with Nikola Mektic.

Mirnyi and Oswald earned 250 Emirates ATP Rankings points each and will split $40,400 in prize money, while Dzumhur and Sancic take 150 points and will share $21,240.

As far as titles go, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga clinched the best year of his career on Sunday. The Frenchman won his fourth ATP World Tour title, a career best, beating Argentine Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 7-5 at the European Open in Antwerp.

“I’m feeling good. It’s always good to win tournaments. I played really good tennis this week. I had a very good opponent today. He gave me a hard time. And I played some of my best tennis today on court,” Tsonga said.

“It’s really good, really positive for me and I hope I will be able to do something even better in the next week.”

Tsonga had captured titles in Lyon (d. Berdych), Marseille (d. Pouille) and Rotterdam (d. Goffin) earlier this year. With his 16^th career title (16-11), the 32-year-old also vaulted himself into contention to make his fourth appearance at the Nitto ATP Finals, to be held 12-19 November at The O2 in London.

Tsonga now has 2,055 points in the Emirates ATP Race To London, 550 points behind Pablo Carreno Busta, who currently holds the final qualification spot. But there are still two weeks remaining in the season for Tsonga to make up ground. He will try to do so this week at the Erste Bank Open 500 in Vienna, where he is the eighth seed.

The Frenchman has to like his chances: No one on tour has played better than him this year indoors. Three of his four titles have come indoors – Lyon was on clay – and he boasts a 16-2 record this year under a roof.

Against Schwartzman, Tsonga saved four of six break points and won 73 per cent of his first-serve points. Tsonga will receive 250 Emirates ATP Rankings points and €105,045 in prize money for winning the title.

Schwartzman said, “I think it was really tough against Jo. He was serving unbelievable today. I am trying always to return but he played better than me. He deserved to win. He’s a big player.”

The Argentine was looking to take home his second ATP World Tour title, after winning the TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Open last year (d. Dimitrov). He fell in the 2016 European Open final to Tsonga’s countryman Richard Gasquet. The Argentine will receive 150 Emirates ATP Rankings points and €55,325 in prize money.

“It was an unbelievable week for me. Second year here in Antwerp, second final,” Schwartzman said. “I am trying next year to win but it’s not going to be easy. I hope I don’t play against another Frenchman here.”

Maybe Scott Lipsky of the U.S. and Indian Divij Sharan should play together more often. In their first ATP World Tour tournament together, Lipsky/Sharan won the European Open in Antwerp, beating Mexico’s Santiago Gonzalez and Julio Peralta of Chile 6-4, 2-6, 10-5 in Sunday’s final.

Two weeks ago, Lipsky/Sharan reached the semi-finals of the ATP Challenger Tour event in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and they raised their level in Belgium, especially in the big moments. The American/Indian pairing won all four matches in Match Tie-breaks.

“It was a great match. Those are two great friends of ours, so we’re happy to get through. It was fun to play against them,” Lipsky said.

Lipsky improved to 16-12 in tour-level doubles finals for his career. Sharan improved to 3-1.

“It was a great experience, playing here. It’s my first time in Belgium so I really enjoyed it,” Sharan said. “We had a great time on court. We played four very good matches so we’re really happy.”

The champions will receive 250 Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings points and split €31,910 in prize money.

Gonzalez/Peralta were playing together for the third consecutive week and posted another good result. They also made the semi-finals in Tokyo and the quarter-finals at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event in Shanghai.

Gonzalez was playing in his 20^th career final (11-9) and was trying to extend his ATP World Tour title streak to eight consecutive years. Peralta was trying to win his fifth career tour-level doubles title (4-4). They will receive 150 Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings points and split €16,780 in prize money.

The “Tower of Tandil” is rising toward the top of the tennis world again.

Fourth seed Juan Martin del Potro defended his Intrum Stockholm Open title on Sunday, defeating top seed and 2013 champion Grigor Dimitrov, 6-4, 6-2 in one hour, 23 minutes. It is the Argentine’s first title since he lifted the trophy in Sweden last year.

“I played the best match of the week against Grigor today. Unlucky for that, sorry Grigor,” del Potro said. “It’s amazing to come back and hold this big trophy. And hopefully I can come next year as well. I love to be in Stockholm. I like the city a lot. I like the Swedish people and you treated me very, very good this week and I would like to thank everyone.”

Not only did del Potro capture his 20th ATP World Tour title, but he launched himself into contention in the Emirates ATP Race To London. The 29-year-old will move up to 14th in the Race with 2,135 points, 470 points behind Pablo Carreno Busta, who currently occupies the final qualifying spot. The Argentine also has his eyes set on the possibilities for him in the future.

“I’m still going up in the [Emirates ATP] Rankings. I’m already in the Top 20 and I don’t have too many points to defend next season. Could get close to the Top 10 guys,” del Potro said. “[It] could be a dream after all my problems with the wrist. To reach that ranking, that number again, would be fantastic for me. But I’m very calm. I’d like to stay in good shape, keep healthy and keep playing tennis.”

Del Potro dominated the final with his serve, notching nine aces and saving all four break points he faced. He earned a double-break lead in the second set while returning up 4-2, as Dimitrov launched a forehand approach shot long to virtually put the match out of reach. Fittingly enough, del Potro ended the championship with a big serve in the deuce court down the middle, eliciting an error from his opponent. When the ball landed in the net, del Potro’s arms rose straight toward the ceiling in celebration.

The Argentine extended his FedEx ATP Head2Head series lead against the Bulgarian to 6-2, despite losing their past two matches, both this year, in straight sets.

It was still a strong effort for Dimitrov in Stockholm. Dimitrov is fifth in the Race standings, next in line to qualify for London with 3,560 points, nearing his first appearance at the Nitto ATP Finals.

“I couldn’t have lost to a better gentleman on and off the court. Juan, congrats…you’ve been playing great the whole year, quite a few battles and wishing you the best of luck for the rest of the season,” Dimitrov said. “Unfortunately I couldn’t bring a lot more fight today. But again, Juan totally deserved it.”

Del Potro earned 250 Emirates ATP Rankings points along with €105,045 for his efforts, while Dimitrov added 150 points to his tally and pocketed €55,325.

Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic picked up crucial points in the Emirates ATP Doubles Race To London on Sunday with their first ATP World Tour team title.

The top seeds came through indoors at the Intrum Stockholm Open, beating second seeds Aisam–Ul–Haq Qureshi of Pakistan and Dutchman Jean-Julien Rojer 3-6, 7-6(6), 10-4.

Marach/Pavic will gain 100 more points in the London standings, pushing them to within 100 of eighth-placed Raven Klaasen and Rajeev Ram, who hold the lone remaining qualification spot as only two weeks remain in the Race. The top eight doubles team will qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals, to be held 12-19 November at The O2 in London. Marach/Pavic are seeking to make their debut at the prestigious tournament.

The Austrian/Croatian pairing had fallen in their three prior finals, all this season and all on grass: Stuttgart (l. to Murray/Soares), Antalya (l. to Lindstedt/Qureshi) and Wimbledon (l. to Kubot/Melo).

But for the third consecutive match, the top seeds played big in a Match Tie-break to win. Marach/Pavic won six of their seven service points in the Match Tie-break. They improved to 27-17 on the season since partnering at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 in Miami in March.

Marach is now 17-21 for his career in tour-level doubles finals; Pavic, 8-13. The champions will receive 250 Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings points and split €31,910 in prize money.

Qureshi/Rojer were playing together for the first time since the 2013 Nitto ATP Finals. They are now 4-4 in finals together. They will receive 150 Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings points and split €16,780.
