British number one Cameron Norrie stunned world number two Carlos Alcaraz in three sets to win the Rio Open title on Sunday.
The two men locked horns a week on from Alcaraz's win over Norrie in the final of the Argentina Open, but the Brit fought back from a set and a break down on the clay to glean revenge over the US Open champion.
Norrie took two hours and 41 minutes to win 5-7 6-4 7-5 and clinch his fifth top-level title - ending a run of three successive defeats in ATP Tour finals in the process.
Having been broken in the 12th game of the first set before falling 3-0 down in the second, back-to-back defeats were seemingly on the cards for Norrie against Alcaraz.
However, as the Spaniard - who missed the Australian Open through injury - began to struggle with physical problems, Norrie took full advantage with a four-game winning streak in the second set before Alcaraz broke back once again for 4-4.
The 19-year-old's late efforts were futile as Norrie forced a third set, but the Brit would be forced to do it the hard way again, as Alcaraz earned the first break of the decider for a 2-0 lead.
Norrie quickly broke back before the two players traded another pair of breaks, but Alcaraz's apparent leg problem would prove telling, as the world number two went 6-5 down on serve despite remarkably fighting back from 40-0 down.
One final ace down the T would clinch an emotional win for Norrie, who won his first ATP title since the Lyon Open back in May.
