Hugo Gaston was crowned champion of the 10th edition of the Brest Open Groupe Vert, defeating Eliot Spizzirri from the United States 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 in Sunday’s final.

Having already lifted the trophy in Rennes in September, Gaston captured his second ATP Challenger Tour title in France this season with another strong run in Brest.

The Toulouse native, who received a wild card from the organizers, battled past fellow Frenchman Calvin Hemery, Francesco Maestrelli of Italy, and Arthur Fery of France, before outlasting Alexis Galarneau from Canada in a tight semifinal.

In the final, Gaston found himself quickly trailing against Spizzirri but managed to turn things around, spurred on by 2,500 enthusiastic fans inside the Brest Arena. After dropping the opening set, he raised his level to claim the next two and secure victory in one hour and 37 minutes.

“It was a very tough match, I was under pressure the whole time. I tried to hang in there at the start of the second set, and little by little I managed to play my game against a very good opponent. I stayed focused from start to finish,” said Gaston after his sixth triumph on the ATP Challenger Tour.

“I’m super happy to have won this tournament. I had some doubts, but I didn’t give up. I knew I could raise my level, and I thought maybe he wouldn’t be able to keep up — and that’s what happened. Brittany seems to suit me — maybe it’s the crepes at night, I don’t know (laughs). I feel great here. Playing in a venue like this, with such a crowd, is fantastic. The tournament is really well organized, everything is top-notch for us players. Everyone takes such good care of us, and I try to give something back on the court.”

The 25-year-old pocketed € 20,630 in prize money as well as 100 ATP Ranking points.
