Data Debrief: Djere ends long wait

Djere's last ATP title had come at the Sardegna Open in October 2020, when he beat Marco Cecchinato in straight sets in the final.

His victory on Sunday means the 2025 season has already seen two players win an ATP title five years on from their last trophy, with Miomir Kecmanovic also doing so (Kitzbuhel 2020, Delray Beach 2025).

“I can see Australia in the semifinals as they are aiming to win their fourth (title) in a row. England too had a strong pre-tournament build-up. India’s chances are also very high and I expect them to be in the semifinals7m7-christmaspg, if not in the finals,” Sthalekar told a select group of journalists at the ABC – International Development’s five-day cricket commentary and mojo programme at the Australian High Commission.
