(Reuters) - Second seed Kevin Anderson used his powerful serve to end the unlikely run of qualifier Pierre-Hugues Herbert with a 6-4 7-5 victory in the final of the Winston-Salem Open in North Carolina on Saturday.

One break in each set was enough for Anderson to clinch the third ATP title of his career and end a streak of losing seven straight finals.
