  • Intro:

    Play was suspended during the Nastase Tiriac final in Bucharest after a disturbance in the crowd. When the players returned to the court Guillermo Garcia-Lopez saw off Jiri Vasely in straight sets.

    Script:

    Two players at the opposite ends of their careers met in the Nastase Tiriac final in Bucharest. 31-year-old Guillermo Garcia-Lopez was using his experience to good effect by winning the first three games of the first set. But the exciting Jiri Vesely fought back...

    The 21-year-old went 6-5 up, he had two set points on his own serve but they were saved by the Spaniard.

    Garcia-Lopez won the tie-break that followed 7-5....

    The second set stood level at 3-3 when there was a disturbance in the crowd - one man was asked to leave his seat by security, but refused to do so.

    Play was held up for a few minutes as further security personnel were called in and eventually the man was dragged from his seat - to loud applause and cheering from the crowd.

    He'll be sorry to miss out on what was a thrilling tie-break finish to the set.

    Garcia-Lopez so close to a straight sets win but with skill, determination and a bit of luck Vesely made him work.

    He saved five match points, but after two hours 14 minutes on court eventually Garcia-Lopez drew the crucial mistake...

    The Spaniards fifth tour title and he is the first player over the age of 30 to win here, Experience wins today but clay titles for Vesely will surely come.
