Cecchinato beats Schwartzman in Argentina Open final
Posted February 17, 2019 6:00 am
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - Third-seeded Marco Cecchinato of Italy won the Argentina Open final on Sunday, taking his third career title and disappointing home crowd favorite Diego Schwartzman.
The 26-year-old Cecchinato easily beat fourth-seeded Schwartzman 6-1, 6-2 on the outdoor clay.
Schwartzman had saved a match point to knock out defending champion Dominic Thiem in the semifinals.
But on Sunday it was very different, with Cecchinato barely giving Schwartzman a chance from the beginning.
