Moez Echargui has captured the title of the Saint-Tropez Open. The 32-year-old Tunisian defeated French alternate Dan Added 6-3, 6-4 in Sunday’s singles final of the ATP Challenger Tour hard-court event.

Unseeded Echargui battled his way into the championship match with wins in the bottom half of the draw over No. 4 seed Ugo Blanchet of France, Mexican qualifier Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez, eighth-seeded Frenchman Titouan Droguet and No. 7 seed Mark Lajal of Estonia.

Echargui didn’t face a break point in the final and broke Added’s serve two times to secure victory in one hour and 22 minutes.

By winning his third ATP Challenger career title following his triumphs in Porto, Portugal and Hersonissos, Greece earlier this season, the World No. 175 earned €15,150 in prize money as well as 125 ATP Ranking points.

The fifth edition of the Saint-Tropez Open offered a total prize pool of €181,250 and was hosted by the Tennis Club De Saint Tropez. Saint Tropez is a small town on the French Riviera famous for its glamour, beaches and vibrant lifestyle. Once a quiet fishing village, it became a hotspot for artists in the early 20th century and later for movie stars, jet-setters and luxury yachts.

Today, Saint-Tropez blends old-world charm with modern sophistication: narrow cobblestone streets and pastel-colored houses surround a bustling harbor lined with cafés, boutiques and art galleries. Beyond its legendary nightlife, visitors can enjoy sandy beaches like Pampelonne, local Provençal markets and scenic coastal walks, making it a quintessential Mediterranean escape.
