Ernests Gulbis stormed to his second Delray Beach International Tennis Championships title with a straight-sets win over finalist Edouard Roger-Vasselin.

The Latvian, who was champion here in 2010 but had to qualify this time, saw off his French opponent 7-6 (7/3) 6-3 in an hour and 36 minutes.

Gulbis, who at 109 was ranked four places below his opponent, was a break up then a break down in the first and saved a set point before taking it on a tie-break.

The second was a different story as he dominated, breaking twice on his way to his third career ATP Tour title and maintaining his 100 per cent record in finals.
