Vienna - Rublev’s 5th title this year

Final decided in Vienna.

2020 Erste Bank Open - an ATP 500 tournament, on Hard, Indoor (Rebound), in Vienna, Austria, 26 October-1 November 2020.

Defending champion:

Dominic Thiem (1) who defeated Diego Schwartzman (5) 3-6 6-4 6-3

Final:

- Lucky loser Lorenzo Sonego (Italy) v Andrey Rublev (5) (Russia)

The pair had met just once before, in a 2016 challenger in Cortina, where Rublev prevailed.

Four years on, Rublev was ruthless on serve in the opening set, surrendering just one point in his first four service games. 

Sonego didn’t present much for the Russian to exploit, but in the fifth game he slipped, and Rublev converted the only break point on offer in the first nine games.

Serving for the set at 5-4, Rublev finally felt some pressure, and at 15-40, he produced what was required, winning four straight points and the set 6-4.

Eight games flew by in set two without a break opportunity, and it was Rublev again who bucked the trend. Sonego trailed 0-40 in the ninth game and could only save one of the three break points he faced.

Rublev served out the match 6-4 6-4, claiming his fifth title for 2020, the most of any player.

Final:

 

- Adrian Mannarino (3) (France) v John Millman (4) (Australia)

Millman had won both of the two previous meetings between the pair, including at the Cincinnati Masters held in New York in August this year.

The opening set in the Astana Open final began with a love game on serve for Millman, and no break points were seen for eight games.

At 4-4, the Australian fought off three, and at 5-5, he saved another two, and led 6-5.

Mannarino, who had not been taken to deuce since the second game, found himself down 30-40 when serving to stay in the set, and Millman converted the set point to lead 7-5.

The longest game of the match was the fourth in set two, where Mannarino failed to convert a game point, and then after saving three break points, saw Millman use the fourth to extend his lead to 3-1.

A second break and Millman went to the line to serve for the match leading 5-1.

After saving a break point, John Millman only needed one match point to collect his first ATP title 7-5 6-1.
