Through injuries and illness and, well, aging, Radek Stepanek never doubted he'd one day hoist another trophy overhead as an ATP tournament champion.
He was right.
The unseeded Czech's net-charging style carried him to a 6-4, 6-4 victory over top-seeded Gael Monfils of France in the final of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic on Sunday. At 32, Stepanek is the tournament's oldest champion since Jimmy Connors was 35 in 1988, and the oldest champion anywhere on tour this season.
