America's Tommy Paul won his maiden ATP Tour title on Saturday with a three-set victory over 2019 champion and third seed Denis Shapovalov of Canada.
World number 52 Paul triumphed 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 to cap a memorable week in which he had knocked out three-time major winner Andy Murray in the last-eight.
He took that form into his semi-final against eighth-seeded compatriot Frances Tiafoe to win in three sets.
"I played some of my best tennis to beat Denis," said Paul.
"It's the most fun I've had playing a tournament. It means everything to win my first title. I've worked so hard to achieve this and I'd like to break into the Top 30 at some point."
