France’s Ugo Humbert pulled off an upset win over fourth seed Andrey Rublev on Sunday to claim the biggest title of his career in the final of the Halle grass court tournament.
Humbert, ranked 31 in the world, earned a 6-3, 7-6 (7/4) victory over world number seven Rublev in one hour, 24 minutes.
Having won two ATP 250 titles in his career, this was the first tournament win at 500 level for the 22-year-old, who has won all three finals he has reached on the tour.
Berrettini wins
Top seed Matteo Berrettini became the first debutant since Boris Becker in 1985 to win the Queen’s tournament, beating Briton Cameron Norrie 6-4, 6-7 (5/7), 6-3.
The 25-year-old Italian may have dropped his first set of the week but his booming serve held up with 19 aces bombarding Norrie as he secured his fifth ATP title.
1st arab winner
In Birmingham, Ons Jabeur became the first Arab woman to win a WTA title when the Tunisian beat Daria Kasatkina 7-5, 6-4 in an engrossing hour and a half tussle.
Jabeur, the second seed, gained a measure of revenge as she secured her first title at the expense of Kasatkina, one of two women to have beaten her in her previous finals appearances.
Elsewshere in Berlin, qualifier Liudmila Samsonova capped her breakthrough week by winning her first WTA title with a 1-6, 6-1, 6-3 victory over Belinda Bencic in the final of the Berlin grass court tournament.
