Tommy Paul claimed his first title on grass with a straight-sets victory over Lorenzo Musetti at the Queen's Championship on Sunday.
It took the American just 88 minutes to get his 6-1 7-6 (10-8) win after a front-footed, aggressive approach.
Paul cruised through the opening set but looked like he might be forced into a decider after failing to serve out the match at 5-4.
The Italian edged them into a tie-break, but Paul rallied from 1-4 down to get his hands on the title.
His 27th tour-level win of the season also ensured he will surpass Taylor Fritz to become the American number one for the first time in his career on Monday.
