Kei Nishikori became the first Japanese ATP title winner in almost 16 years when he stunned top seed James Blake in the final of the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships. Playing just his sixth ATP tournament, Nishikori rallied from a set down to win 3-6, 6-1, 6-4.

At 18 years, 1 month, 19 days old, Nishikori is the youngest player to win an ATP title since Lleyton Hewitt (16 years, 10 months, 18 days) in Adelaide on January 11, 1998. Additionally, he is the first Japanese ATP singles titlist since Shuzo Matsuoka won Seoul in April 1992.

Second seeds Max Mirnyi and Jamie Murray claimed the first title of their new partnership when they upset top seeds and World No. 1 team Bob and Mike Bryan 6-4, 3-6, 10-6 in the doubles final.
