MADRID, 23 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Ramos, currently ranked 79th in the world ranking and champion of this event in the 2019 edition, was looking for the fifth title of his record. For his part, Cachín had stood on the track of the Roy Emerson Arena to play his first final on the ATP professional circuit.
The Catalan started the duel well, saving two ‘break’ options in the second game and breaking him in the third (1-2). He immediately consolidated such an advantage (1-3) and also enjoyed two break balls in the fifth (2-3). After keeping his subsequent services without hassle, the Barcelonan broke in the ninth and closed the set in his favor in 50 minutes.

But in the eleventh, the Cordovan accelerated to break again (6-5) and seal his first ATP title.
