Buenos Aires ATP 250, my first title

I was excited to come back to the South America/Latin swing this year.

I had broken top 50 in ATP Cup and was eager to play on the clay. The conditions felt good even though it was at times very hot. I started with winning first round against Andujar moving on beating Carballes Baena, Lajovic and Londero to reach my second final in a 250 event. I felt good going into the final against P. Sousa. My game was solid and consistent and I was using my weapons well. I managed to win the final 6-1 6-4 and for the first time in my career I could lift the trophy and the title of a 250 event.

I was very very happy and at due to this victory I became the first Norwegian to win an ATP title.
