He needed three sets to overcome Leonardo Mayer in the final. On the back of his first title, Basilashvili climbed to World No. 35 in the world rankings, his highest singles position and the highest by a Georgian player in the post-Soviet era. He earned his second ATP crown in October that year when he defeated top seed, Juan Martin del Potro, in the final of the China Open.
