Bernard Tomic retained his Claro Open Colombia title by beating Adrian Mannarino in three sets in Bogota.
The Australian, who has apologised after being arrested in Miami and charged with “resisting an officer without violence”, raced into a 6-1 lead but was pegged back by Mannarino as the Frenchman won five games in a row on his way to clinching the second set.
Tomic saved three break points in the third game of the decider and ultimately prevailed 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 in one hour and 33 minutes after firing down nine aces.
Victory for Tomic means he is now unbeaten in nine matches in the Colombian capital and comes amid a turbulent time for the 22-year-old, who is embroiled in a public row with Tennis Australia.
