The dullest week on the tennis calendar saw titles for Rublev, Mannarino, Cachin, Zhen and Timofeeva. Full report plus all the ATP beef that's fit to post BELOW.
Andrey Rublev captured his second tour-level title of the season on Sunday when he overcame top seed Casper Ruud 7-6(3), 6-0 in the Bastad final.
Adrian Mannarino ended the dream run of #NextGenATP American Alex Michelsen 6-2, 6-4 on Sunday to win the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, R.I. It is the lefty’s first title of the season.

No.2 seed Zheng Qinwen defeated Italy's Jasmine Paolini 6-4, 1-6, 6-1 in the final of the Palermo Ladies Open to secure her first career title on the WTA Tour.
Teenage lucky loser Maria Timofeeva, ranked No.246, captured the title in Budapest with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-0 win over 100th-ranked Kateryna Baindl on Sunday. The 19-year-old needed just over two hours to outlast Baindl and emerge the champion in her very first WTA main-draw showing.
