Llodra wins Rotterdam
None of the top seeds made it past the second round.
Michael Llodra of France won his third career title Sunday, beating Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-7 (3), 6-3, 7-6 (4) in the ABN Amro final.
Llodra previously won the Ordina Open in 2004 and last month defeated Jarkko Nieminen to win in Adelaide, Australia.
Llodra served 22 aces to become the first French winner of the tournament since Nicolas Escude won in 2001 and ‘02.
“When I came here and saw the draw, I thought that it would be very difficult,” Llodra said. “Now I stand here with the trophy in my hands.” IHT
