Winner of the Russian Pavel Kotov, the French Gaël Monfils, 37 years old and 140th in the world, won the ATP 250 tournament in Stockholm, the 12th title of his career. A performance which should allow him to re-enter the top 100 one week before the Masters 1000 at Paris-Bercy.

Gaël Monfils, 140th in the world, won the ATP 250 tournament in Stockholm on Sunday for the second time in his career, beating in the final 4-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-3 the Russian Pavel Kotov, 109th and from qualifications.
