   The 21-year-old Nakashima [49] took advantage of a few things. Prior to the event, there were three main favorites: Rune [10], Musetti [23], and Draper [41]. Rune withdrew after triumphing in Paris because it created him an opportunity to be an alternative in a more prestigious event in Torino. It happened after his group had been already drawn, thus he was replaced by an unknown Italian (the other Italian still isn’t an ATP player too). # In the other group, the local favorite Musetti lost a first all-tie-break five-set match in the history of the event (to Stricker) and sensationally didn’t advance to the semifinals… In the final, Nakashima almost repeated his round robin match against Lehecka [74], only the first set was tighter (the Czech led 3:1*), another two sets were concluded with the same “4-3, 4-2” scores. “I am super happy right now,” Nakashima said. “It was a great tournament, this whole week. This final was another tough match. Just a few points that could have gone either way. I am happy with my level today. It is a good way to finish off the year.” In his toughest, opening match vs Arnaldi, Nakashima saved 5 set points to avoid a 0-2 deficit.

   Nakashima’s route to the title:
   rr (alt.)Matteo Arnaldi 2-4, 4-3(7), 4-3(3), 3-4(4), 4-2
   rr Jiri Lehecka 4-1, 4-3(2), 4-2
   rr Francesco Passaro 4-3(2), 4-2, 4-1
   S Jack Draper 4-3(6), 1-4, 4-2, 4-3(5)
   W Jiri Lehecka 4-3(5), 4-3(6), 4-2

   Serve & volley: Nakashima 1/3, Lehecka 1/2
