June 28 : Zizou Bergs won his first tour-level title and became the first Belgian to win an ATP title on grass in the Open Era on Sunday, beating Ugo Humbert 3-6 6-1 6-4 in the rain-delayed Eastbourne Open final.
The 27-year-old Bergs is set to meet Humbert again at Wimbledon in the first round.
Bergs, who had lost two finals before, ran to hug his team after sealing the win.
“The results are not there, we keep focusing on improving. And that’s why we’re here today, standing with the trophy,” Bergs told his team during the presentation ceremony.
