Canadian Open: 'Don't wake me up' - Pablo Carreno Busta beats Hubert Hurkacz for maiden ATP Masters title

Pablo Carreno Busta says he “didn’t know how to feel” after winning his maiden ATP 1000 title at the Canadian Open. Carreno Busta became the first unseeded Canadian Open champion since 2002 by beating Hubert Hurkacz 3-6 6-3 6-3 in Montreal. Ad “Please don’t wake me up if I’m dreaming because I’m enjoying this a lot,” said Carreno Busta.

It’s not my best season this year but I continued to believe in my team, myself and my game. “When you play against these kind of players who have a really good serve it’s tough. I just continued to believe and two breaks of serve was enough.

It was Hurkacz who made the first break at 4-2 in the first which was enough to clinch the set. There wasn’t much to separate the players overall, which continued in the second set. A poor game from Hurkacz saw Carreno Busta break him to take a 2-0 lead, which proved to be the crucial difference as both players held their service games for the rest of the set.

Hurkacz was playing in his fifth deciding set this week, but unlike the other matches, he was on the losing end. Similarly to the previous set, just one bad game allowed Carreno Busta to take advantage and break in the third game. The quality of the tennis was outstanding at times and Carreno Busta became champion with a second break to seal his seventh ATP tour title.
