Indianapolis : Third seed Dmitry Tursunov ended Frank Dancevic's dreams of a first ATP tour title as he beat the Canadian 6-4, 7-5 in the Indianapolis Championship final Sunday.
Dancevic caused an upset in the semi-final when he beat top seed Andy Roddick but his luck ran out against the Russian, reports the ATP Tour website.
It was only the second career win for the Russian, who won in Mumbai last year.
Tursunov broke serve twice, in the third game of the first set and the 11th of the second, to set up his win.
The Russian said he was pleased to "get the job done."
"A few years ago I would have lost it and probably walked away at the end with about one racket left. I've made some progress since then," he said.
"I knew I had my chances even if he was confident after beating Andy Roddick in the semis. I had to remind myself that I'm ranked 27th for a reason, not by chance."
Dancevic was the first Canadian to play in an ATP final since Greg Rusedski in 1995, two years before he gained British citizenship.
"I didn't return as well as I would have liked, I was nervous," admitted Dancevic.
"He was more confident out there. I made too many unforced and they came on my own serve."
