Darcis wins first ATP final at Dutch Open

Amersfoort, Netherlands (Sports Network) - Belgian qualifier Steve Darcis upended unseeded Werner Eschauer of Austria in straight sets Sunday to win the Dutch Open title.
It was the first career ATP championship for Darcis who came from behind and stunned second seed Mikhail Youzhny in the semifinals on Saturday.
It took just over 90 minutes for Darcis to dismiss the Austrian in the first career matchup for the two players. Darcis dominated the first set and then blitzed the Austrian in the tiebreaker of a hard fought second frame en route to the 6-1, 7-6 (7-1) victory.
The 33-year old Eschauer, who was playing in the first ATP final of his 13- year pro career, was seeking to become the oldest first-time ATP titlist since Wayne Arthurs won at 33 years, 11 months in 2005.
Eschauer upset third seed Carlos Moya in the quarterfinals and then whipped Dutchman Robin Haase 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the finals.
