Aussie Millman claims debut ATP title in Astana
ASTANA, Kazakhstan (AFP) - Australian John Millman claimed his debut ATP title with a 7-5, 6-1 win over France s Adrian Mannarino at the Astana Open on Sunday.
The 31-year-old s career milestone came at his third appearance in an ATP final after Tokyo in 2019 and Budapest the season before.
This was the world number 45 s third win over Mannarino in as many meetings and he achieved it by saving all six break points and breaking serve three times.
For the Frenchman this loss in Nur-Sultan was his ninth in 10 ATP finals, his lone success coming on the grass of s Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands last year.
The pair could conceivably meet for a fourth time next week at the Paris Masters.
