French fifth seed Paul-Henri Mathieu came from behind twice to win his fourth career title in today's Swiss Open final, beating Italy's Andreas Seppi 6-7 6-4 7-5.
Mathieu, the world number 28, was the strong favourite going into his meeting against Seppi, ranked 111th in the world and playing in his first ATP final.
The Italian looked likely to cause an upset however after taking the first set tie-break 7-1 and then breaking to lead 5-4 in the deciding third set.
Nerves then seemed to get the better of the 22-year-old who dropped his next two service games, allowing Mathieu to clinch his second claycourt title of the season following his April triumph in Casablanca.
