The 18-year-old German upset the tournament’s top seed Evgeny Karlovskiy of Russia 6-3, 5-7, 7-5. Möller withstood 10 aces, hitting three of his own and broke serve three times to prevail after two hours and 37 minutes.

“This is incredible and I am more than happy,” told Möller afterwards. “He will gain some confidence from the victory,” Möller’s coach Guido Fratzke added.

The teenager, who enterd the main draw with a wild card, takes away €1,944 in prize money as well as 18 ATP ranking points. Next up for Möller will be the Tennis Future Hamburg.
