Sixth-seeded Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta battled back from a set down to defeat unseeded Fabio Fognini and win the Kremlin Cup in Moscow on Sunday. Carreno Busta, ranked 36th in the world, won 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in one hour and 54 minutes to record his second triumph over the 29-year-old Italian in as many meetings and claim his second ATP title this season.
Fognini, who saw off three seeds in succession on his way to the final, started confidently, breaking Carreno Busta's serve twice for a one-set lead in 30 minutes.
The second set was a mirror reflection of the first as the 25-year-old Spaniard also broke twice to level at one-set all after one hour 14 minutes on court.
