Former US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro clinched his first ATP title in almost three years with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over American Jack Sock in Sunday’s final in Stockholm. “I’ve been trying to fix my problems for the past two years and I didn’t expect to win a title at this moment in my career. It’s motivation for looking forward to the future,” said Del Potro. The world number 63 played just six tournaments across 2014 and 2015 but has gradually rediscovered some of the form that once enabled him to reach fourth in the world. Del Potro helped his country defeat Murray’s Great Britain in this year’s Davis Cup semi-finals and will seek to lead Argentina to their first title against Croatia next month.
