At 40-30, Yoshihito Nishioka fired a second serve up the middle and watched as his opponent dumped a return into the net.

It was a routine point at an opportune time, with the error from Pierre-Hugues Herbert coming on Nishioka's fifth championship point in the finals of the Shenzhen Open in China.

It was the young Japanese's first ATP title and the importance of the occasion was evident in his reaction.
