David Nalbandian claimed the Stockholm Open on Sunday thanks to a three-set defeat of Robin Soderling on Sunday.Top seed Nalbandian, the only top-30 player in the draw, came into the match having not dropped a set in five matches and, although he lost that record, still had too much for Soderling, winning 6-2 5-7 6-3.
Nalbandian now has a 9-8 record in ATP finals after claiming his second title this year, the first one coming in Buenos Aires in February.
He also finished runner-up in Acapulco the following week.
Both players held their serve in the third set until the seventh game, when Nalbandian broke to take a 4-3 lead on his fourth break point after Soderling netted a backhand.
The Argentinian then held to love to lead 5-3 and wrapped up the match with another break after Soderling double-faulted on match point.
