The sun has set on the 2025 Winston-Salem Open, and Marton Fucsovics is left standing as this year’s champion.
The Hungarian surged his way to the 2025 title, fighting off a pesky comeback effort from Botic van de Zandschulp in Saturday evening’s final to secure his maiden Winston-Salem Open title and third career ATP Tour win.
Fucsovics was dominant in Winston-Salem from start to finish, with his run to the title including a spotlight win over No. 2 seed Tallon Griekspoor in the second round.
“I’m speechless,” Fucsovics said after the match. “I belong to the older generation but I’m still here winning.”
The 33-year-old Fucsovics looked poised for a blowout victory up 5-1 in the second set, but the Dutchman Van de Zandschulp climbed back to even the match at 5-5 and eventually send the match into a second set tiebreak.
But Fuscovics put his foot down in the end, claiming the tiebreak 7-3 to secure his first hard court title.
“I can’t wait to be back,” he told the crowd after the match. “I will be here to defend my title.”
