Italian Marco Cecchinato won the Argentina Open with a clinical 6-1 6-2 demolition of hometown favourite Diego Schwartzman.

World No.18 Cecchinato raced through the match in little over an hour to claim his third ATP title on Sunday.

Buenos Aires-born Schwartzman buckled under the pressure of playing in front of a partisan crowd and at one stage lost seven games in a row.

Cecchinato romped to the title without dropping a set all week. The 26-year-old had previously captured titles in Umag and Budapest last year.
