Yuichi Sugita wins his first career title in Antalya.

The Japanese took full advantage of an event that was largely deserted by both players and fans with the stands mostly empty. Still, a title is a title and the world no.66 has all the rights to be elated with that.

Sugita defeated Mannarino in the final 6-1 7-6 (4).

The most emotional moment of my career. SUGITA

Soon after winning the title, Yuichi commented

“I’m really happy to be the first champion in Antalya. This is the most emotional moment of my career. I’ve won many Futures and Challenger titles, but never at a big tournament like this. It’s just amazing. I can’t believe it.”

Good stuff for Yuichi.
