Juan Martin Del Potro beat Julien Benneteau 7-6 (2), 6-3 Sunday to win the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament, going one better than his runner-up spot last year.
Benneteau managed what no other player at the tournament achieved — breaking Del Potro's service twice in the first set — but always struggled to hold his own service against the big-hitting Argentine and crumbled in the second set.
The 2009 U.S. Open winner had not dropped a single service game heading into the final.
Benneteau, who beat No. 2-ranked Roger Federer in the quarterfinals, is now 0-8 in ATP finals.
Benneteau saved four match points when serving at 5-2 in the second set, but it was only a stay of execution as Del Potro served out the match to love.
