Lorenzi needed two hours and three minutes to defeat his Spanish rival, world No. 22, 6-3, 7-5, reports Efe.

“I think today I was playing a really good match. We are good friends so it was not an easy match … but yeah I’m happy,” said the 36-year-old Italian victor.

“This tournament for me is really, really strong — I am not seeded but there is not a big difference between the ranking of the other players,” world No.45 Lorenzi added, according to the tournament’s official website.
