Erik Grevelius and Adam Heinonen entered the tournament as wildcard entries and claimed their first ATP title with a straight-sets victory, 6-3, 6-4, over the top-seeded pairing of Nikola Mektic / Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
Grevelius / Heinonen made a flying start, playing with tremendous determination from the outset. They secured an early break in the second game to take a 2-0 lead. In the first three games, the Swedes won an impressive ten out of twelve points and showed no signs of being first-time finalists. Serving at 5-3, Heinonen and his partner showed no nerves, closing out the set 6-3 with a final service ace. It was a dream start for the home favourites.
The second set remained closely contested until 2-2, when the Swedes saved a game point before breaking their opponents on the following deciding point. At 3-2, with their own serve and just three games away from their first ATP title, the Swedes were firmly in control. In the following game, with Heinonen serving, they strengthened their position by winning it to love. Serving at 4-3, Grevelius and Heinonen found themselves under pressure at 40-40, but a powerful serve from Grevelius secured the game and a 5-3 lead. In the next game, Adam Heinonen had the honour of serving out the match, converting the first match point to secure the Swedish duo's maiden ATP title in front of a roaring crowd at the Royal Tennis Hall.
The Swedish victory ends a ten-year title drought for Swedish players at the Bybit Stockholm Open. The last Swedish title came in 2016, when brothers Elias and Mikael Ymer won the doubles tournament.
