Uruguay’s Pablo Cuevas, coming off an upset of Rafael Nadal(Spain),won his fourth career ATP title on Sunday Feb 21,2016, defeating Argentina’s Guido Pella 6-4, 6-7 (5/7), 6-4 in the Rio Open final.
The final was interrupted by rain in the opening set and completed in the early morning hours of Monday Feb 22,2016
The $303,000 top prize was the biggest single payday of Cuevas’ career, coming after his semi-final shocker over Rafael Nadal
Pablo Cuevas, ranked 45th but set to jump to 27th, missed two seasons from 2011 to 2013 due to injury but has come back to win titles at the 2014 Swedish and Croatian Opens and last year’s Brazil Open at Sao Paulo.
