Unseeded Pedro Cachin of Argentina captured his maiden ATP Tour title by rallying for a 3-6, 6-0, 7-5 victory against former champion Albert Ramos Vinolas of Spain in Gstaad, Switzerland.

With the two-hour, 23-minute triumph, the 28-year-old Cachin became the fifth first-time champion on the tour this year. He also climbed 41 spots to a career-high No. 49 in the ATP world rankings.

Cachin struck seven aces and converted five of his 12 break chances against Ramos Vinolas, who received a medical timeout during the second set for blisters.
