Tipsarevic denied second successive title by Brazilian

Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci stunned top-seeded Janko Tipsarevic to land the Suiss Open title on Sunday. Unseeded Bellucci, ranked No.60 in the world, claimed his third ATP career title after scoring a surprise 6-7 (8/6) 6-4 6-2 victory over Serbian Tipsarevic. Tipsarevic was denied a second straight title after winning on clay last week at Stuttgart, where he beat Bellucci in the semi-finals. Bellucci led 6-1 in the first-set tie-breaker, but Tipsarevic reeled off seven points to claim the set. At 5-4 up in the second, Bellucci broke the eighth-ranked Serbian's serve to love to level the match. Tipsarevic saved two match points but double-faulted to present a third, which the 24-year-old Brazilian took.
