Aslan Karatsev beat Marin Cilic in the final in straight sets

After the bitter final defeat of Ekaterina Alexandrova , the Russian tennis fans could look forward to a home win on Sunday: Aslan Karatsev clearly prevailed against Marin CIlic in the final of the ATP 250 tournament in Moscow and thus crowned himself the winner in the Russian capital .

After almost 80 minutes of playing time, Karatsev, who first drew attention to himself this year by reaching the semi-finals at the Australian Open, turned his first match point into a 6: 2 and 6: 4 success.

While Karatsev won his second title on the ATP tour, Cilic missed his third success in Moscow. The Croat was crowned winner in Moscow in both 2014 and 2015.

At the parallel tournament in Antwerp, however, Jannik Sinner prevailed .
