Jurgen Melzer defeated Milos Raonic in straight sets Sunday (February 26) afternoon to win the ATP Memphis Championships. Austrian Melzer battled to a 75 76(4) win over Canadian fourth seed Raonic to claim his fourth career title and first since Vienna in 2010. The unseeded Melzer took a difficult path to the title, defeating top seed John Isner in a quarterfinal match and then third seed Radek Stepanek in the semifinal. For Raonic the loss was his second in a row in the Memphis final after falling last year to Andy Roddick. Raonic had been in excellent form lately, winning 19 straight sets and losing his serve just once in his last 41 games before meeting Melzer.
