Tommy Paul outgunned Lorenzo Musetti to win the final at the grass-court Queen’s Club, 6-1, 7-6 (8), on Sunday for his third ATP title.
The 13th-ranked Paul will also overtake compatriot Taylor Fritz to become the new American No. 1.
Musetti, ranked No. 30, had won both of his previous two tour-level finals. This was the Italian’s first final on grass.
Paul looked set to run away with the match after serving for it at 5-4 in the second set. Musetti found some belated resistance to break back and force a tiebreaker, where he had a set point at 7-6.
