INDIANAPOLIS — Gilles Simon of France won the Indianapolis Tennis Championships today, beating Dmitry Tursunov of Russia 6-4, 6-4.

Simon, seeded second and ranked 25th, won his fourth title. He had not reached an ATP semifinal in the United States before this tournament.

Tursunov, seeded third and ranked 32nd, was hoping to join Pete Sampras and Andy Roddick as the only players to win back-to-back singles titles in Indianapolis since the tournament moved to a hard-court surface in 1988. Tursunov beat Frank Dancvic in last year's final.

The Russian, who upset top-seeded and eighth-ranked James Blake in the semifinals, was trying to capture his fifth ATP title and first since winning in Sydney in January.
