   31 % Dolgopolov – 28 of 89

   Interesting final between two players of similar postures and skills, very likely the last ATP final in Dolgopolov’s career. The Ukrainian [53] led *5:1 (30/15) in the 2nd set, but had lost the double break cushion before he won an entertaining rally at 5-all in the tie-break (he struck two backhand winners in the end of the tie-break). Goffin took a toilet break before the decider, and got the crucial break at 4:3, converting his first match point with a backhand passing-shot down the line.

   Goffin’s route to his 3rd title:
   2 Evgeny Donskoy 7-6(5), 6-3
   Q Donald Young 6-2, 6-3
   S Henri Laaksonen 7-6(7), 5-7, 6-3
   W Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-3

   Serve & volley: Goffin 0/1, Dolgopolov 0
