KITZBUEHEL, Austria -- Marcel Granollers won his fourth ATP title after overcoming a disastrous start Saturday, defeating second-seeded Juan Monaco of Argentina 0-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4 in the bet-at-home Cup final. The 53rd-ranked Spaniard won his first title since also beating Monaco two years ago in Valencia, Spain. Becoming the first Spanish winner here since Alex Corretja in 2002, Granollers improved to 4-2 in career finals. "Its a very special feeling to win here," said Granollers, who had failed to go beyond the quarterfinals of an event this season but ended Robin Haases two-year winning run in Kitzbuehel in the semifinals. Monaco was seeking his ninth career title and second of the year, after winning in May in Duesseldorf, Germany. The 31st-ranked Monaco, who won here in 2007, dictated the pace in the opening set with strong forehands from the baseline, sending Granollers from one corner to the other. Monaco broke Granollers first service game with a winner off the net cord and added two more breaks to take the opening set in 23 minutes. "I didnt play well at all in the beginning. He was very solid from the start," said Granollers, who won only nine points in the set. "When youre close to winning a title, you get nervous." Granollers saved two more break points early in the second set, helping him to settle, and broke himself at the first opportunity to lead 5-3. "He had chances in the second set as well and I was lucky he couldnt take them," Granollers said. "From then on it became a different match." Granollers had a 4-0 lead in the deciding set. He missed three match points at 5-2 but converted at the fourth chance on Monacos serve when the Argentine sent a backhand volley long. "Marcel deserved to win," Monaco said. "In the end, he just played better than me." Authentic Luke Falk Jersey . White came in fourth place in the event. He was the two-time defending gold medallist.

Titans Jerseys Authentic China . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. For the first time in the sports history, five prominent mixed martial artists have publicly aligned with a fighters association.A group of athletes including former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, along with former Bellator MMA CEO Bjorn Rebney, announced the foundation of the Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association on Wednesday.According to its official release, The Associations sole concentration is to fight for the rights of MMA fighters and force UFCs ownership, [WME-IMG], to dramatically alter the companys decade plus outrageous treatment of its athletes.In addition to St-Pierre, who retired in 2013 but is interested in a comeback, the group includes active fighters Tim Kennedy, Cain Velasquez, Donald Cerrone and?TJ Dillashaw. Those five will serve as the MMAAAs board members, and they intend to recruit other UFC athletes, both active and retired, to join.The MMAAA declined to provide a detailed outline of its plans but said its goals ideally include an out-of-court financial settlement with the UFC, an increase in revenue share and insurance and pension packages that do not currently exist for UFC athletes.In essence, what the association is going to achieve for the athletes is a settlement to address the past wrongs, driving up [revenue split] to 50 percent up from 8 percent, and a benefits package that provides a safety net, said Rebney, who was replaced as Bellator head in 2014.All four of the active fighters are scheduled to compete at UFC events in December, and each admitted that adds a feeling of angst to the announcement.Absolutely there is still fear, but it needs to be done, Cerrone said. Standing with the five guys here, these are big names. We just need the rest of the guys to not have fear and stand up with us. Were putting ourselves out there.St-Pierre, who entered negotiations for a comeback fight with the UFC this year that ultimately failed, added, This same thing has happened before in every other sport -- NFL, NNHL, NBA.dddddddddddd Now its happening in the UFC. Its going to happen whether they like it or not.I know a lot of fighters want to remain anonymous, but Im telling you guys, come see us. Its time to stand together.St-Pierre said even a fighter at the level of Conor McGregor, who received a record $3 million disclosed purse for a fight against Nate Diaz in August, is not making a fair share.A UFC official told ESPN.com the promotion does not intend to make a formal statement on the announcement, but respects all of its athletes and encourages open communication on how to improve the sport.Rebney made it clear the association is not an effort to unionize -- the current landscape defines UFC fighters as independent contractors rather than employees. The initial focus of MMAAA also will be only on UFC athletes, not those signed to other organizations.Four of the five athletes on the board are represented by entertainment powerhouse Creative Artists Agency (CAA), a well-known rival of WME. WME purchased the UFC for more than $4 billion earlier this year.According to Rebney, CAA is not directly backing the association but supports the athletes rights. Rebney declined to identify the ventures source of funding, other than saying, Some people stepped up.Rebney also mentioned the possibility of a labor strike, although both Kennedy and Velasquez later stated their goal is to work with the UFC to resolve these differences.This is not the first pro-fighter effort to take place; however, it is the first to feature such prominent, public support from a board of high-profile fighters. Another effort calling itself the Professional Fighters Association was announced in August, although that differs in that it seeks to unionize UFC athletes.Were going to change the face of the entire industry and sport today, Kennedy said.
