Mannarino finally wins first ATP Tour title

's-Hertogenbosch - France's Adrian Mannarino ended his long wait for an ATP Tour title by beating Jordan Thompson to win the grass-court event in 's-Hertogenbosch on Sunday.

The 30-year-old, who had lost in each of his six previous finals, claimed a 7-6 (9/7), 6-3 victory in the Netherlands.

World No 44 Mannarino's best results have come on grass  having twice reached the final in Antalya and made the second week of Wimbledon three times.

Australian Thompson, who reached the third round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career at the recent French Open, was playing in his maiden tour final.

Mannarino and Thompson had both won their semi-final matches earlier in the day after rain curtailed play on Saturday, beating Croatian second seed Borna Coric and Frenchman Richard Gasquet, respectively.
