Alejandro Davidovich Fokina finally has secured his first ATP Tour title.

In his sixth tour-level final, the Spaniard claimed glory for the first time on Sunday. The second seed defeated Ethan Quinn 7-6(4), 6-3 to win the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Championships and lift the trophy.

"It feels amazing to have the first title after five finals,” Davidovich Fokina said. “Today was a very tough battle, he played amazing. In the tie-break, I was pushing myself. In the end I knew that this one has to be mine, in Spain, at home, the first one. It should be mine and I pushed a lot.”

After hitting his sixth ace of the match — this one a curling slice out wide in the deuce court — to seal his victory, Davidovich Fokina calmly walked to the net to shake hands without showing any emotion. The champion then walked back out on the court and unleashed a cathartic roar, celebrating his special moment.

Last year, Davidovich Fokina made four finals, including two at which he earned multiple championship points. But the Spaniard was unable to convert at Delray Beach, where he let slip two championship points against Miomir Kecmanovic, or in Washington, where he could not take advantage of three championship points against Alex de Minaur.

There was no such drama this time. The second seed was unable to serve out the first set at 5-4, but never panicked and played a calm tie-break to take the lead. Throughout the match, he was sharp with his backhand passing shot to parry Quinn’s net approaches.

Davidovich Fokina had a break point in the first return game of the second set to take a commanding lead, but his American opponent held on in his first ATP Tour final. That proved to only delay the final outcome.

The champion broke Quinn’s serve for a 4-2 lead in the second set and never hit a significant hurdle on his way to the trophy like he did in Delray Beach and Washington.

“The crowd was amazing. I felt the love today,” Davidovich Fokina said. “One hundred per cent the title is for them, for the Spanish people that supported me and all the journey last year and this year. It was a tough, very tough year, but [a] very, very good year. So, I'm very happy how I performed today, and I don't have any words to describe this feeling right now."

In his first Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting against Quinn, who was competing in his first tour-level final, Davidovich Fokina saved three of the four break points he faced and critically converted two of his five opportunities, according to Infosys ATP Stats. With the triumph, the Spaniard rose two spots to No. 23 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings.
