The world number 27 saved the only break point he faced in an impressive 6-4, 6-4 victory.
“It was an unbelievable match from my side,” Rune said after adding to the maiden Tour title he won in Munich earlier this year.
“
I knew it was going to be difficult, but I just tried to stick to the game plan. I had to play my best tennis today and it was good that I could find the level. I am super happy.”
Rune broke in the third game of each set, finishing the match with 20 winners.
