Top-seeded Hubert Hurkacz of Poland fended off local favorite Benjamin Bonzi 6-3, 7-6 (4) on Sunday to capture his sixth ATP Tour title at the Open 13 Provence in Marseille, France.

Hurkacz overwhelmed the Frenchman with his serve, striking 19 aces and winning 93 percent (41 of 44) of the points on his first delivery.

Bonzi fought back and had an opportunity to extend the match, leading 6-5 in the second set. Hurkacz survived three set points to avoid the service break and force the tiebreak.

Hurkacz improved to 6-1 in tour-level finals and collected his second trophy on indoor hard courts, his first since September 2021 in Metz, France.
