HOUSTON — Christian Garin of Chile won the U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship on Sunday for his first ATP World Tour title, beating Casper Ruud of Norway 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-3 at River Oaks Country Club. Nearly six years after winning the French Open Juniors title, the 22-year-old Garin finally broke through on the tour, spoiling Ruud’s bid to become the first Norwegian winner. “Casper’s a really solid player,” Garin said. What I did well today was to keep playing my game, every game of the match. “I’m disappointed because it was a very close match and one break in the last set went his way,” Ruud said.
