BASTAD, Sweden — Carlos Berlocq of Argentina upset eighth-seeded Fernando Verdasco to win the clay-court Swedish Open 7-5, 6-1 on Sunday and clinch his first ATP World Tour title.
Berlocq broke the Spaniard’s serve twice in the second set after a grueling opening set that lasted more than an hour.
It was the second ATP final of the 30-year-old Berlocq’s career.
Berlocq was scheduled to play in the men’s doubles final later Sunday.
