Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta claimed his first tour-level title in more than two years by beating Alexander Bublik in the final of the Chengdu Open.
Bublik served 31 aces in a contest lasting two hours and five minutes, but it was Carreno Busta who came out on top, securing a 6-7 (5) 6-4 7-6 (3) victory.
"This year was very tough for me because of the injuries at the beginning of the year," said Carreno Busta, whose most recent win came in May 2017.
"I had (a lot of time) off the courts and it is really tough when you cannot play and enjoy this sport.
"I just tried to continue working hard because I know when you work and do as much as possible, normally you have the prize.
"Now I am here with the trophy (after) winning my fourth ATP Tour title and for me it is the reason to continue fighting and playing this sport."
The Demon delivers yet again in 2019 😈

Australia's Alex De Minaur claimed his third title of the season with victory over France's Adrian Mannarino in the final of the Zhuhai Championships.
De Minaur, 20, edged a hard-fought contest 7-6 (4) 6-4, sealing victory with the only break of serve in the match when Mannarino, who had saved 12 break points, netted a backhand.
De Minaur joins Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev and Dominic Thiem in having three wins this season. Only Rafael Nadal, with four, has won more.
