ATP Doubles: Zverev brothers claim Acapulco title
Germany's Alexander Zverev and Mischa Zverev have won it all at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel.
The Zverev brothers came from a set down in the Acapulco final to beat USA's Austin Krajicek and Kiwi Artem Sitak 2-6 7-6 (4) 10-5.
Krajicek and Sitak cruised past the opening set as they broke the Zverevs in the second and eighth game.
The Germans got their first break of the match in the third game of the second to take a 2-1 lead but Krajicek and Sitak broke back immediately in the following game.
The set eventually went into a tie-break, where the Zverev brothers blew three consecutive set points but converted their fourth to force a decider.
The Zverevs dominated the match tie-break as well as they converted their second match point to win their second team title.
The Germans converted just 1-of-3 of their break point chances and saved 8-of-11 of Krajicek and Sitak's break point opportunities in an hour and a half of action.
Alexander escaped losing his second final of the day as a couple of hours earlier he got beaten in the singles final by Australian Nick Kyrgios.
Elsewhere, Argentina's Federico Delbonis and Maximo Gonzalez made it all the way at the Brasil Open.
Unseeded Delbonis and Gonzalez beat fourth-seeded Luke Bambridge and Jonny O'Mara 6-4 6-3 in the Sao Paulo doubles final.
Delbonis and Gonzalez broke the British duo to love in the third game and then held on to their serve to claim the opener.
Delbonis and Gonzalez failed to convert any of their two break point chances in the first game of the second set but broke their opponents in the third game to take a 2-1 third-set lead.
Delbonis and Gonzalez broke for the second time time to take a 5-2 lead but failed to serve out for the match as they blew two match points in the eighth game.
However, they kept their focus as they converted their fifth match point in the following game to seal the win and conclude the week without a dropped set.
Delbonis and Gonzalez served nine aces, won 92 percent of their first serve points and converted 4-of-8 of their break point chances in just over an hour of action.
Delbonis, 28, and 35-year-old Gonzalez now have won two doubles titles together.
