S
Western & Southern Open 2017: Grigor Dimitrov, Garbine Muguruza Capture Titles



Seventh-ranked Grigor Dimitrov and fourth-ranked Garbine Muguruza won the ATP and WTA Western & Southern Open, respectively, in Cincinnati during Sunday's two final matches.

Muguruza started the doubleheader with a 6-1, 6-0 straight-sets victory over No. 2 Simona Halep, who lost her chance at seizing the No. 1 position in the world rankings. Dimitrov maintained the pattern of straight-sets dominance with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Nick Kyrgios.



He wasn't as dominant, but Dimitrov followed in Muguruza's shoes and won a championship Sunday in straight sets.

Despite the win, he had to overcome head-turning serving and 15 aces from Kyrgios. However, Dimitrov saved 100 percent of the break points he faced and won 85 percent of his first-service points, per the ATP's official website, to dictate the close match and turn away a worthy effort from the unseeded Kyrgios.
