Finale
Nikoloz Basilashvili vs Roberto Bautista Agut : 3/6 4/6
The Spaniard won the 10th title of his career today, the first since 2019. A game that was simply revenge for last year’s final, when the Georgian dominated his rival.
“I’m really very happy, I worked a lot to find a final and above all to win a title again because it hadn’t happened to me for a long time.
The final was difficult but this year there was no wind, it was much better for me.” said Roberto Bautista Agut.
Basilashvili, who was looking for a 6th title, said he was also satisfied with his week in Doha.
