Both the finalists had no difficulty with the serves but after 4-5 in both sets Khachanov lost control and his serves went haywire. Khachanov dropped serves each time in the set ends and gave points to Monfils.
This was Monfils’ first international tour-level title since 2020 in Rotterdam. Monfils had admitted that he did not play in the pandemic as he does not like empty stadiums and thus his rank dropped from 10th to 21st. He was playing in his first Australian tour-level championship match, yet he did not lose any sets last week and showed great agility against Khachanov in the Finals.

With a perfect start to the season Monfils comments, “I want to say thanks to my team. We have had some tough moments; we lost a little bit of faith, but we came back strong from July last year.”
He further added, “It is amazing to play in front of you guys, to play in front of a full crowd with a good spirit and atmosphere, this is amazing.”
Monfils further commented on the ATP Tour in Adelaide, “It is a great tournament. I have been training here since 2009. I know the place very well; I love Adelaide and am very happy to win the title here.” Monfils and Khachanov will stay in Adelaide for next week’s second ATP tournament.
