CHENNAI — World number four Stan Wawrinka cruised past Croatian teenager Borna Coric 6-3 7-5 to claim his third successive Chennai Open title on Sunday.
The top-seeded Swiss defeated the 19-year-old Coric, the youngest ATP World Tour finalist since Kei Nishikori at Delray Beach in 2008, to win his fourth title in six years in the Southern Indian city of Chennai.
Wawrinka, who has two grand slam titles, converted his first break point to take a 4-2 lead in the opening set.
Coric, playing his first ATP final, stretched his opponent in the next game but Wawrinka managed to hold on to his service game, which went on for over nine minutes.
