26 April 2015 05:17

Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez claimed the fifth ATP Tour title of his career with victory in the BRD Nastase Tiriac Trophy in Bucharest.

The fifth seed was pushed hard by Czech youngster Jiri Vesely who fought back from 3-0 down to serve for the first set.

But 31-year-old Garcia-Lopez kept his nerve to fight back and take the opener before prevailing in an even tighter second set for a 7-6 (5) 7-6 (11) win.

"It was complicated for me to close the match," said Garcia-Lopez.

"I was feeling nervous, a lot of things crossing my mind, but in the end I was happy to win. It is the first time in my career that I've won two titles in a year."
