Kevin Anderson Claims Inaugural New York Open Title.

South Africa’s Kevin Anderson beat American Sam Querrey 4-6, 6-3,7-6 to walk away as the New York Open’s inaugural champion. Having lost the U.S.Open to Rafael Nadal in September 2017, Anderson felt he had a point to prove at the New York Open.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]“Tennis is a tough sport. You can play a lot of tennis, lots of matches and if you don’t win that final’s match, it can be a pretty tough week. One of my goals this year was to be more successful in the final stage. I fell a little short in India earlier this year. It feels great to come through. Gives me a lot of confidence for the year,”[/perfectpullquote]

Anderson said.

The New York Open title becomes Anderson’s fourth career title which has seen him ascend to a career-high No. 9 in the world rankings.
