Juan Ignacio Chela, king of clay in Bucharest

After three fun days, with four fun exhibition matches, it was time to go back to serious business at BCR Open. On Saturday, the red clay of the Center Court was waiting the four 2010 doubles finalists, Marcel Granollers (ESP), Santiago Ventura (ESP), Lukasz Kubot (POL) and Juan Ignacio Chela (ARG).

After Marcel's difficult singles semifinal against Pablo Andujar, everybody expected he will be tired and will not be able to play at his normal level in doubles. And he was not. But, with Ventura's help, he took a set and fought like a warrior in the decisive. But the luck was on Kubot and Chela's side. They won, 6-2 5-7 13-11. This was Chela's third doubles title, after Estoril and Vina del Mar, in 2004, respectively 2005.

But the 31-year-old's Romanian adventure didn't finish here. Today he won his tenth singles final and the second this year, against the qualifier Pablo Andujar, 7-5 6-1. The first set was a good one for the Spaniard. Chela broke his serve twice, but each time he came back immediately. At 6-5, the South-American was able to finish it, by breaking the younger player's serve. In the second set, he had a total control, winning it easily, with 6-1.

It was Chela's 5th title after Mexico City (2000), Amersfoort (2002), Estoril (2004), Acapulco (2007) and Houston (2010).

The winner Juan Igancio Chela earned 250 ATP points and picked up the prize of €66.580, while Andujar added 150 ATP points and took home €34.975.
