Holger Rune, Munich champion after saving 4 match points against Botik Van De Zandschulp

After the first set, won by Rune with a score of 6-4, nothing announced the events of the final in Munich.

Holger, the big favorite to win the trophy, was no longer at the same level in the second set: he lost two games on serve, and after the rematch he could not stand out. The match definitely went to De Zandschulp with a score of 6-1.

In a very good mood after winning the second set, Botik continued to put pressure on Roon’s serve and the decisive moment started perfectly for the Batavian: with a break.

Both players held the lead until the seventh game when Roone broke to make it 5-2 in favor of Van De Zandschulp.

However, this was not the end of the match, which many were waiting for: Rune did not give up, he staged a spectacular comeback (equalizing the score at 5), and also saved four match points on the way to the trophy.

A tie-break was needed to decide the winner and Roon was mentally stronger as the Dane won the leg 7-3. The final in Munich lasted two hours and 49 minutes.
