Estrella Burgos lost the first set in a tiebreak, but bounced back to take the match 6-7 (2), 7-5, 7-6 (6).

Sunday’s title was the third in ATP singles for the unseeded Dominican. They’ve all come on clay in Quito.

The third-seeded Lorenzi was gunning for his second ATP singles title after winning last year on clay in Kitzbuhel, Austria.

Estrella Burgos advanced with victories over top-seeded Ivo Karlovic of Croatia, Federico Gaio of Italy and No. 4 Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil.
