Top seed Radu Albot is the champion of the €42,500 Poznan Open held at the Park Tenisowy Olimpia. The world number 92 from Moldova defeated Belgian qualifier Clement Geens, who appeared in his first final on the ATP Challenger Tour,  6-2, 6-4.

Albot sent down three aces, winning 63% of his first service points and converted four of his seven break point opportunities to seal victory in one hour and 32 minutes.
