I worked very hard to be here, and now I get to enjoy this moment.The 25-year-old Busta needed just over 2 1/2 hours to become the sixth first-time winner on the ATP World Tour this season, and the first to do so in an American tournament.The 28-year-old Agut, seeded second, was trying to win his third title of the season and the fifth of his career. He won this year at Auckland, New Zealand, and Sofia, Bulgaria.It was a tough match, a tough week, said Agut, who won three three-set matches to advance to the final.

The timing couldnt be better for Busta, who will play his first match at the U.S. Open on Tuesday.This year, Ive played really tough matches against top players, Busta said. This is important to me. I dont have time to celebrate this title, but this just gives me more confidence to play there at the U.S. Open.I arrive there with confidence, and I can get even more if I win the tournament. ' ' '
