Del Potro wins Los Angeles final


Argentine teenager Juan Del Potro won his third straight ATP title by out muscling Andy Roddick 6-1, 7-6 (7/2) in the final of the Los Angeles Classic.

Roddick fell in a heap, never having a look at the Los Angeles title, the only American summer event that he has never won.

Roddick's grand plan to tune up for the US Open starting in a fortnight by skipping the Beijing Olympics stalled at the final hurdle as the top seed and former number one went down in 90 minutes.

Del Potro broke three times in the opening set and came through calmly in the second-set tiebreaker to notch the win.p
