Houston ATP: Steve Johnson defeats Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci to clinch title
The American defeated his opponent 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7/5).
This is his second career ATP title.
“To win on U.S. soil and win when you’re not feeling great is a testament to my willpower and competitiveness,” Johnson was quoted as saying on ATP website.
“My body has just physically run out of gas after this week. Coming in from Australia kind of put me behind the eight ball and then the nerves of trying to close out the final, a lot of factors go into cramping. I was very fortunate to get out of that," he said.
