Gael Monfils has claimed his ninth ATP Tour title and his third at the Open Sud de France as he eased past Vasek Pospisil in a 7-5, 6-3 win.
Monfils in claiming the title for the third time has continued the homegrown domination which has seen eight of the last 10 champions being French.
His performance included six aces and 70 percent on his first serve with 2/4 on break points in an impressive display from the number one seed in the competition.
His run to victory saw him come through with ease in many of his ties defeating Adrian Mannarino 4-6, 6-1, 6-4; Norbert Gombos 6-3, 6-4 and Filip Krajinovic 7-6, 6-2.
Gael Monfils improves his record to 19-4 in the event and extended his unbeaten Head2Head record against Pospisil to six matches.
The latter was aiming to win his first ATP Tour trophy in his second final but couldn't continue his brilliant form.
The winner will now attempt to defend his Rotterdam World Tennis Tournament title next week to add a tenth crown to his total.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
