Tsonga wins all-French final at Open 13

Second-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has defeated fellow Frenchman Lucas Pouille 6-4, 6-4 in the final of the Open 13 in Marseille.

Second-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga won a second title in as many weeks by defeating fellow Frenchman Lucas Pouille 6-4, 6-4 in the final of the Open 13 on Sunday.

Tsonga, who defeated defending champion Nick Kyrgios of Australia in the semifinals, captured the Rotterdam title last week to end a two-year trophy drought.

The 11th-ranked Tsonga put on a nearly flawless performance on his serve to win his 14th career title at the indoor event. Tsonga hit seven aces, dropped only three points on his first serve and did not face a single break point.

The former Australian Open runner-up broke once in each set and added a third Marseille trophy to his collection after victories in 2009 and 2013.
