In addition to his routine, Fucsovics could also rely on his freshness before the final: while the Hungarian player won his semi-final in less than an hour and a half on Saturday, Navone also played his quarter-final on Saturday, after the rain had delayed the program in Bucharest many times.
Navone could trust the cover, he is a clay specialist like most of the South American players, he only tried other covers in Grand Slam qualifiers in the last year.
Great start by Márton Fucsovics
The first games were like a dream for Fucsovics. The Hungarian player left Navone 4:0.
The Argentinian did not give up the game, leveled at 4:4, and even had a break point to take a 5:4 lead. However, Fucsovics parried it, and then he was able to break again, so he took a 6:4 set advantage.
In the second set, Navone broke for the first time, at 1:1, Fucsovics saved two break points, but in the third, he hit a double fault.
The rain, which caused problems in Bucharest all week, did not remain in the final either, but the game was not interrupted due to eye contact.
Fucsovics equalized in the middle of the second game, betting for the tournament victory at 5:4. At that time, he was not even close to winning, but two games later, Navone was unable to deal with the defense of the Hungarian player, so Márton Fucsovics won the ATP tournament in Bucharest.
– I did not expect this result, since a lot of time, almost six years, has passed since I last won an ATP tournament. I am very happy about the success, my parents were also here, and so many people supported me that I often felt like I was playing at home – said Márton Fucsovics at the award ceremony, who also thanked his new coach, Ádám Kellner.
