Serbia’s Viktor Troicki clinched the men’s singles crown at the Apia International Sydney 2015 after winning the all-qualifier battle against Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan in the summit clash.

Troicki, who won his second overall and first title on the men’s tour after completing a 12-month ban (for allegedly breaching the anti-doping rules), pulled off a 6-2 6-3 triumph at the Ken Rosewall Arena on Saturday.

“There are a lot of emotions actually,” Troicki said after his victory. “It’s been a tough road, a lot of work, and it paid off with a nice title. I’ve got to say I have been working harder than ever probably, and I feel very, very fit.”

BOPANNA/NESTOR TRIUMPH IN DOUBLES

Meanwhile, the Indo-Canadian combination of Rohan Bopanna and Daniel Nestor pulled off the doubles title, following their 6-4 7-6 win over Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau in the title-clash.
