Third seed Mikhail Youzhny ended his 16-month ATP Tour title drought with a straight-sets victory over Slovakian Lukas Lacko in the PBZ Zagreb Indoors final.

The Russian was always in control against world number 97 Lacko, who was competing in his first Tour final.

Youzhny did not face a break point throughout, won 75% of points on his serve and broke his opponent's serve three times en route to a 6-2 6-3 triumph.

The victory marked the world number 39's first tournament win since he prevailed in Kuala Lumpur in 2010.
