Britain's Ross Hutchins claimed his first ATP Tour title as he and Australian partner Stephen Huss won the men's doubles final at the China Open.

They beat third seeds Ashley Fisher and Bobby Reynolds 7-5 6-4 in Beijing.

"I've only been on tour a couple of years and it's just a great feeling to finally come through," said Hutchins.

The victory was doubly sweet for the the 23-year-old, who was on the losing side in Great Britain's Davis Cup defeat by Austria last weekend.

"I came late due to Davis Cup, which didn't go so well, but it's been a brilliant week," Hutchins added.

"We combined very well, haven't dropped a set, only played one tiebreak, so just played some amazing stuff.

"It feels unbelievable. It's my second final and I made the semi-finals here last year, so it's great to go one better."
