Rising star Ben Mitchell (Worongary, Qld) has claimed his first Pro Tour title after winning the Landmark Riverland Tennis International in Berri, South Australia.

The No.4 seed in Berri, Mitchell dropped the first set against fellow Queenslander and No.5 seed Michael Look but fought back strongly to win the final, 2-6 6-4 6-3.

After finishing runner-up in last year’s WM Loud Bendigo International, the victory marked Mitchell’s first Pro Tour title.

Mitchell reached the final after defeating top seed Vishnu Vardhan (IND) in a tough three-set match on Saturday, while Look had a comfortable victory against No.2 seed Hiroki Moriya (JPN) in the semifinals.
