German qualifier Benjamin Becker claimed his first ATP title at Saturday's Ordina Open, at the expense of Holland's Raemon Sluiter. Becker won the first set on his third break point and then broke the Dutch wild card in the second game of the second set to win 7-5 6-3. Becker had beaten top-seeded Fernando Verdasco and No. 4 Rainer Schuettler on his way to the final and will now head to Wimbledon full of confidence. World number 866 Sluiter is also on the up, meanwhile, after writing his name in the record books by becoming the lowest ranked player ever to reach an ATP final.
