Later at 7 pm, Frenchman Ugo Humbert, who stunned defending champion Daniil Medvedev of Russia in the semifinal, will take on Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan in the singles final.

Humbert beat Medvedev 7-5 6-3 in the semifinal, while Bublik was awarded the win after his semifinal opponent, Andrey Rublev, was defaulted for unsportsmanlike behaviour in the first semifinal.

The match was tantalisingly poised at 6-7 7-6 6-5 in the third set when Rublev was disqualified for shouting at a lines official.

Humbert and Bublik have never faced each other in the past.
