   Points won by each set: | 32-24, 29-20 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:

   29 % Gulbis – 16 of 54

   Tsitsipas [16] became the first player from Greece to win an ATP title. He didn’t need to bother attacking the net because his final opponent had huge problem with retrieving the serve. The breaks came in the tenth games of both sets. “Hopefully many Greek players can achieve something like this. I would be super-happy to see them achieve something like this in the future, maybe even in the near future,” Tsitsipas said. “Representing my country at such high-level tournaments, being the first Greek to crack the Top 100 is very, very special for me.” Gulbis [145, qualifier] lost his first ATP final having won all six he had played before (previous in 2014). Both finalists appeared in outfits of the same color, and the same brand (Adidas… grey shirts, red shorts).

   Tsitsipas’ route to his maiden title (36th main-level event):
   2 John Millman 6-4, 3-6, 6-3
   Q Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-3, 7-6(4)
   S Fabio Fognini 6-3, 6-2
   W Ernests Gulbis 6-4, 6-4

   Serve & volley: Tsitsipas 0, Gulbis 1/2
