Hurkacz defeated the two top seeded Pablo Carreno Busta 7: 6 (2), 6: 3 in the final and secured his third ATP title this year - and his fourth overall.
Hurkacz did not give a set the whole week, in the semifinals he had won against Peter Gojowczyk .
The 24-year-old is continuing his strong year in 2021: In addition to three tournament victories, including the Masters tournament in Miami, Hurkacz also made it to the semi-finals of Wimbledon .
He will thus improve to 12th place in the ATP ranking. In the annual race, Hurkacz moves up to 8th place and thus has a good chance of qualifying for the ATP Finals in Turin. Especially since Rafael Nadal is still ahead of him, who has already ended his season due to an injury.
