The Spaniard’s win allowed him to pick up his first ATP World Tour title of 2017. Carreno Busta, who also claimed his first title on clay, didn’t drop a set in navigating through a difficult draw that included former Top 5 player Tommy Robredo, defending champion Nicolas Almagro, fourth seed David Ferrer and Muller.
“It’s my first title on clay, so I’m really happy,” said Carreno Busta. “It wasn’t an easy match today because of his serve and also the volley, but I was confident with my serve. He served better in the second set, but I played better in the tie-break.”
