LYON, France -- Top-seeded Rainer Schuettler won his second straight tournament Sunday, defeating Arnaud Clement of France 7-5, 6-3 to capture the Lyon Open.
Schuettler, a winner in Tokyo a week ago, now has four career ATP titles. He is the first German to win back-to-back tournament since Tommy Haas in 2001.
Clement also was aiming for a second consecutive title after taking the Moselle Open in Metz seven days ago. He won in Lyon in 2000.
Schuettler, who has beaten Clement in two of their three matches, earned $113,000. Clement received $66,400. |
