Alejandro Davidovich Fokina claimed his first ATP Tour title with a 7-6 (4), 6-3 victory against Ethan Quinn on Saturday at the Mallorca Championships.
The second-seeded Spaniard became the first home champion in the grass-court tournament’s six-year history. It was the 27-year-old Davidovich Fokina’s sixth appearance in a tour-level final.
Davidovich Fokina ended the 1-hour, 44-minute match with his sixth ace against the unseeded American. He saved three of four break points and took advantage of seven double faults by Quinn, who was denied in his bid for his maiden title.

The final match between No. 6 seed Ugo Humbert and Zizou Bergs was suspended in the first set on Saturday due to rain in England. Play will resume at 11 a.m. local time Sunday where the match left off.
Humbert was leading 1-2 in the first set after saving a break point in the third game. Bergs was serving 15/30 in the fourth point when the players were forced to leave the court. After a three-and-a-half-hour delay, the decision was made to suspend the match.
Bergs is seeking his first ATP Tour win; Humbert is looking for his first title of the season. The pair will meet again in the first round at Wimbledon next week.
