VIENNA(AP) Jurgen Melzer defeated top-seeded Marin Cilic 6-4, 6-3 to win the Bank Austria Tennis Trophy, his second career ATP title.
The 35th-ranked Melzer, seeded seventh, saved five break points to hold serve throughout. He broke Cilic three times in Sunday's final.
Cilic entered the tournament on a wild card after U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro withdrew with a wrist injury. The Croat is 2-2 in finals this season, and an outside contender for one of two open spots at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London later this month.
Melzer became only the second Austrian winner in the 35-year history of the event after Horst Skoff in 1988.
