Local favorite Thomas Johansson upset top seed Andre Agassi 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 to win the Stockholm Open title on Sunday.

Johansson, the Australian Open titlist in 2002, had lost all his six previous meetings with the former world number one.

It was Johansson's eighth tournament win and third appearance in a Stockholm Open final. He won the tournament in 2000 and reached the final in 1998.

Agassi remains in contention to secure one of the three remaining berths in the eight-man Masters Cup in Houston.

Tim Henman, Marat Safin, Guillermo Coria and David Nalbandian are the other players who still have a chance of qualifying for the season-ending event.

Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt, Carlos Moya and French Open winner Gaston Gaudio have already booked their places in the tournament.
