Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt ended a two-year title drought on Sunday with a victory over Wayne Odesknik in the final of the US Clay Court Championship.
Australia's Hewitt defeated the American 6-2, 7-5 to claim his 28th ATP title - just his second on clay. Hewitt hadn't won a title since March 2007, when he triumphed in Las Vegas.
Until a winless 2008, Hewitt had won at least one ATP title for 10 straight years.
Hewitt has now won 499-169 matches on the men's tour, and could notch his 500th match win at this week's Monte Carlo Masters, where he has received a wild card entry.
He has drawn a first-round meeting with another former world number one, Russian Marat Safin. Roger Federer and Carlos Moya are the only active players with 500 or more match wins.
