Fourth-seeded American Maxime Cressy rallied to win his first career ATP Tour title, beating No. 3 seed Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (3) on Sunday in the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, R.I.

After knocking out four-time Newport champion John Isner in the semifinals a day earlier, Cressy, 25, overcame a rough start that saw him get only 42% of his first serves in during the opening set. It was his third career ATP final.

The tourney — the only played on grass courts in North America — is held in conjunction with induction ceremonies into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

“It’s an incredible feeling winning my first title,” said Cressy, who injured his left knee and had to take an injury timeout before the final point of the third set.

The 6-foot-6 Cressy raced toward the sideline, trying to make a return when he stumbled to the ground and rolled over. He got up flexing his knee, walking near his chair for a bit before a trainer was called out.

During the delay, as Cressy was behind the chair umpire, Bublik, standing at a baseline, yelled: “Stop or continue. Make a decision.”

There were some boos from the crowd that cheered louder and louder as Cressy made his comeback; at one point breaking into a chant of “Let’s go Cressy!”

“He assured me it was not a joint problem or anything like. He said I could still play, and I trusted it,” Cressy said of the visit. “I went along with it and didn’t think about it at all in the tiebreak.”

Bublik, 25, was looking for his second ATP title after capturing Montpellier this year. He was a 2019 runner-up in Newport.

Bublikfell to 1-5 in ATP finals.

Trailing 3-0 in the second set under bright sunshine with temperatures in the high 70s, Cressy held serve before breaking twice in the next three games.

In the tiebreak, there were three breaks on the first three points. Cressy then had an ace to go up 6-3.

On the final point, Bublik, who entered the week ranked 42nd in the world, double faulted, sending his final serve long. Cressy raised both arms in celebration.

“Well, there’s not much to say,” Bublik told the crowd. “I’m very upset with the outcome and want to congratulate Max on his first title.”

Cressy came to Newport ranked 41st.

Reavie tops Stableford scoring tournament

Chez Reavie won the Barracuda Championship, holding on in the PGA Tour’s lone modified Stableford scoring event for his third tour title.

Six points ahead entering the day, Reavie had a six-point round for a one-point victory over Alex Noren on Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood layout in Truckee.

Reavie, 40, became the first PGA Tour winner 40 or over since Lucas Glover a year ago in the 2021 John Deere Classic. The Arizona player finished with 43 points.

Dutch women reach Euro quarterfinals

Defending champion the Netherlands needed a late surge to beat Switzerland 4-1 and guarantee a place in the European Championship quarterfinals, while Sweden qualified with ease in a 5-0 win over Portugal in Sheffield, England.

Still missing star forward Vivianne Miedema, who tested positive for the coronavirus, the Dutch team was held at 1-1 until the 84th minute when Romée Leuchter sent a looping header high over onrushing goalkeeper Gaëlle Thalman, who had made a string of impressive saves up to that point.

Victoria Pelova made it 3-1 in the 89th minute — but only after a long VAR check for offside — and Leuchter got her second and the team’s fourth in added time.

Needing a draw to qualify, the Dutch performance was less convincing than the eventual three-goal margin suggested. It wasn’t enough to secure first place in Group C — which went to Sweden — so the Netherlands must next face France in the quarterfinals.

After a goalless first half notable mostly for video review overturning a penalty for the Netherlands, the Dutch team took the lead in the 49th minute when Swiss midfielder Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic tried to head the ball off the line but instead deflected it into her own net. The Swiss response was almost immediate, Géraldine Reuteler scoring off a pass from Ramona Bachmann.

Sweden qualified top of the group after two goals just before halftime took the fight out of Portugal.

Filippa Angeldal opened the scoring in the 21st and made it 2-0 in the 45th before an own-goal for the third as the ball deflected in off Carole Costa’s head at a corner.

Captain Kosovare Asllani scored a 54th-minute penalty and Stina Blackstenius further extended Sweden’s lead in stoppage time.

• Manchester United reached an agreement with Ajax to buy defender Lisandro Martínez for nearly $58 million.

The center back took a flight to England this weekend to finalize the move which will see him rejoin manager Erik ten Hag, who moved to United from Ajax.

Martínez, 24, still has to pass a medical examination and sign a contract.

Ajax said the transfer fee will be 57.37 million euros ($57.9 million) with a potential further 10 million euros for the Dutch club in conditional add-ons.
