Steve Darcis wins the Dutch Open Title
By Ally White
Steve Darcis, the Belgian qualified, tossed unseeded Werner Eschauer of Austria in straight sets Sunday and it led him to the victory to win the Dutch Open title.
This was his first career ATP championship from 3 ATP tournaments that he has played. His low ranking coming into the week meant that he also had to win 3 qualifying matches just to make the main draw, and his ranking of #297 made him one of the lowest ranked ATP tournament winner since 1985.
It only took Darcis a little over 90 minutes to dismiss the Austrian in the first face to face they have ever played in their careers. Darcis dominated the first set and then blitzed Eschauer in the tiebreaker of a hard fought second frame en route to the 6-1, 7-6 (7-1) victory.
It was an unbelievable week for Darcis, I do not think that he still realizes what he did, it is a dream come true, almost like a fairytale.
The 33-year old Eschauer, who was playing in the first ATP final of his 13- year pro-career, was seeking to become the oldest first-time ATP titlist since Wayne Arthurs won at 33 years, 11 months in 2005.
