Nicolas Mahut takes a liking to the securities. Less than a month after his first trophy on the ATP Tour (tournament Hertogenbosch), the Frenchman won Sunday’s tournament in Newport. The Angevin beat in the final the Australian Lleyton Hewitt in three sets 5/7, 7/5, 6/3.

A victory that allows the French to win 52 ranks in the new ATP rankings. 127th before the tournament, Mahut now ranks 75th worldwide. The Top 10 remains unchanged. Novak Djokovic continues to lead the standings ahead of Andy Murray. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga # 1 French ranks eighth.
