NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Croatia's Marin Cilic defeated American Mardy Fish 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 Saturday to win the men's $708,000 Pilot Pen Tennis tournament at New Haven, Conn.
The sixth-seeded Cilic, 19, beat the eighth-seeded Fish in just under two hours.
Fish had upset top-seeded Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 6-0, 1-6, 6-3 in the semifinals. It was Fish's second straight runner-up finish in the event, following his loss last year to fellow American James Blake.
Cilic, who was making his first appearance in an ATP event, collected $94,000 for the win.
Fish dropped to 2-9 in 11 career finals, including a loss against Serbian star Novak Djokovic at Indian Wells earlier this season. Fish's last title was in Houston in 2006.
