Top seeds Lindstedt/Tecau overpower Peya/Soares to lift the Skistar Swedish Open title – Tennis News
Sweden’s Robert Lindstedt and Romania’s Horia Tecau tumbled the Austrian-Brazilian team, Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares, in straight sets at the Skistar Swedish Open 2012 on Sunday. They formulated a 6-3, 7-6(5) victory against their rivals to lift the
title at this ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) World Tour 250 series event taking place in Bastad.
The highest ranked team of the tournament, Lindstedt and Tecau, displayed their true colours throughout the week and triumph the tournament with poise. They fended off late resistance to outsmart the second seeds and steal the show in one hour and 26 minutes.
"It’s unreal to win a home title three years in a row," the beaming Swede was quoted after capturing the title. "It’s been unreal, we came here almost like in a coma [after Wimbledon]. We have been very, very tired all week, but we have managed to raise
our game to play our best tennis for the semis and the final."
Tecau stated in a post-match press conference:
"We are very happy to get the third title here as it’s a special tournament for Robert and me also."
The Swedish-Romanian pair made a drastic entry at this tournament and suffered the first blow in the opening game but unleashed their true colours after that, eventually going on a five-game rampage. Lindstedt and Tecau held their serve once more and pocketed
the opener by winning six games to three.
The top duo maintained their intensity in the following set and got the coveted break in the opening game. Despite squandering their edge in the 10th game, they stayed focused and dominated in the tie-breaker, subsequently clicking the set with
7-6(5) win.
All in all, Lindstedt and Tecau spilled more double faults but capitalised on three out of 11 break chances to earn the glory.
