Stan Wawrinka claimed his third successive Chennai Open title with a straightforward 6-3 7-5 final win over 19-year-old Borna Coric.
The world number four dropped only four points on his first serve as he wrapped up the title in 86 minutes.
Croatia's Coric, who beat Britain's Aljaz Bedene in the last four, was the youngest ATP tour finalist since 2008.
As well as final victories in 2014 and 2015, Wawrinka also won in Chennai in 2011 and was runner-up in 2010.
