Jérémy Chardy and Łukasz Kubot won the doubles title last year . But they did not take part in the tournament this year either. Fabio Fognini from Italy won the final of the individual competition against Philipp Kohlschreiber, who was in second place, with 5: 7, 6: 4 and 6: 4. This was Fognini's first single title of his career. In doubles, Facundo Bagnis from Argentina and Thomaz Bellucci from Brazil defeated the two Poles Tomasz Bednarek and Mateusz Kowalczyk with 2: 6, 6: 4 and [11: 9]. It was also the first ATP title for Bagnis and Bellucci, but here in the doubles competition.
