Chen claims 23rd ITF title in Hua Hin
Taiwanese top seed Chen Ti won his 23rd ITF title by coming back from a second set deficit to beat Australian Dayne Kelly 6-3 4-6 6-4 in the final of the US$15,000 Cal Comp & XYZ Printing ITF Pro Circuit M2 at the True Arena in Hua Hin on Saturday.
The 267th ranked Chen stamped his authority over the Australian young rival whom he also beat for an ITF title in Thailand back in 2014. It was the fourth title won by Chen in 2017 after he made a hat-trick in Indonesia earlier.
