Youzhny takes home crown; Baghdatis wins Stockholm title


Mikhail Youzhny became the 14th Russian in the tournament's 20 year history to lift the trophy at the Kremlin, and is also the sixth consecutive Russian to win the tournament in Moscow.
He defeated Janko Tipsarevic in the final after enduring a first set loss in a tiebreak but winning the next two sets to take the title with a score of 67(5) 60 64 to win his fifth ATP title.
While in Stockholm, former Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis gave the Swedish crowd a surprise after he defeated Olivier Rochus to win his first title since February 2007 and his third ATP title of his career. The score was 61 75 and he became the 10th unseeded winner this year.
