After a week of beating the odds, Pablo Carreno Busta overcame a slow start to Sunday’s finals at the 2022 National Bank Open and walked away with a victory in the men’s singles final after beating Hubert Hurkacz in three sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 win for Carreno Busta,<\/a> who was unseeded heading into the 2022 National Bank Open, was his first at a Masters 1000 event and is one the Spaniard is sure to cherish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s an amazing feeling, I worked very, very hard (throughout) my career to finally be here.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the tournament, Carreno Busta was making shots and playing consistently, which was a game-changer in the final. That consistency was felt by Hurkacz after double-faulting and missing three forehands gave Busta a 2-0 lead in the third set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carreno Busta also caught a break after forcing an early break, and while Herbert Hurkacz<\/a> scored more aces (18-4), the Spaniard was aggressive with his second serve during the last match, and that closed out the third set 6-3 and brought an end to Hukacz\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s the little things that make a big difference,” said Hurkacz s “If you don’t make your first serves and with Pablo making some good returns, then you’re under a lot of pressure.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

While the win was Carreno Busta\u2019s first ATP Masters <\/a>win, it was also the first that an unseeded player has won this tournament since Argentinean Guillermo Canas won in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s not the first one, but it’s for sure the most important,” said Carreno Busta. It’s a Masters 1000. It’s something great to win these kind of titles.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
