Ukrainian seals second title of the year in New Haven

Sergiy Stakhovsky continued his amazing record of never failing to win a tournament once he's reached the semi-finals with victory in the ATP Pilot Pen. The Ukrainian sealed his second title of the year with a hard-fought 3-6 6-3 6-4 triumph over Denis Istomin in New Haven, Connecticut. Stakhovsky is now unbeaten in all four finals he has appeared in, including his success at the event in Hertogenbosch earlier this year. "I'm really glad to win this title," he said. "It pushed me to another level again." The 24-year-old needed just two breaks of serve to become the first Ukrainian to win two tournaments in the same season since Andrei Medvedev in 1994. Istomin was bidding to become the first player from Uzbekistan to win a title on the ATP Tour. He had made a late decision to play in New Haven after suffering an ankle injury in Cincinnati recently.
