Final:
Roberto Bautista Agut (3) (Spain) v wildcard Filip Misolic (Austria)
This was the first contest between the two players, and the first final at ATP level for Misolic.
Roberto survived two deuces and saved a break point before holding serve and levelling at 1-1 in the first set.
He then broke the Misolic serve.
Misolic saved two break points in the fifth game to avoid going down a double break.
However that trouble was only delayed, as Roberto delivered another blow in game seven to lead 5-2 and leave him serving for the set.
The task was completed for the cost of just one point, Bautista Agut ahead 6-2.
Set two was similar early on, with Bautista Agut breaking for a 2-1 lead.
Then, in the longest game of the set, Misolic took it up to the third seed, threatening to break back. Bautista Agut held firm, saving a break point in the process.
Misolic was broken in the following game, and that was effectively match over.
Roberto Bautista Agut served out the match 6-2 6-2, to claim the title, his 11th from 21 finals, and second this year after winning in Qatar in February.
