Llodra gains revenge in Marseille
Llodra lost out to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga last year in the same tournament but claimed the fourth ATP World Tour title of his career with a 6-3 6-4 victory.
One break of serve in each set was enough for the 29-year-old, who did not face a single break point on his delivery.

Wins over Marcos Baghdatis and top seed Robin Soderling set him on his way as he denied Benneteau a first main tour
title.
The 28-year-old had posted back-to-back wins over third seed Gael Monfils and Tsonga before yesterday.
