Chilean ace Cristian Garin has defeated Matteo Berrettini 6-1 3-6 7-6 (7-1) to win the Munich Open final, less than a month after he claimed his first ATP title in Houston.

The 22-year-old saved eight of 10 break points he faced and kept his best tennis for the tiebreaker to end the Italian’s nine-match winning run on Sunday.

Berrettini earlier defeated fourth-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut 6-4 6-2 in their rain-delayed semi-final.

World No.47 Garin saved two match points in ousting the two-time defending champion and world No.3 Alexander Zverev on Friday and followed that up by beating third-seeded Marco Cecchinato in Saturday’s semi-final.

Garin was ranked 92nd just over two months ago but is projected to rise to a career-high World No.33 on Monday.

With his win over 37th-ranked Berrettini, Garin has matched Guido Pella’s tour-leading tally of 19 wins on clay this year.
