Feliciano Lopez of Spain beat France’s Stephane Robert in Sunday’s final at the SA Tennis Open.

Lopez, the third seed, defeated Robert 7-5, 6-1 in just over an hour to win his second career ATP singles title and first since capturing the Vienna crown in October 2004.

The Spaniard rallied from a set down in the semifinals to oust top-seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils in a third set tie-break on Saturday.

Lopez took home $75,700 for the win.

The eighth-seeded Robert was making his first appearance in an ATP final.
