15:38 CET - It is not to be for Rafael Nadal (38) as he met his match against Nuno Borges (27) in the Bastad final, losing 6-3, 6-2.

It was a memorable tournament for the Spaniard and he should look back on it with pride but today's defeat is further proof that the end of a great era is in full view.

As for Borges, he is celebrating his first ATP title and what better way to do it than by beating a legend of the sport. 

13:40 CET - Next up and in around 20 minutes time is no other than Rafael Nadal (38) who is looking to claim victory in the Bastad final against Nuno Borges (27).

Nadal has won much bigger trophies than this one in his career but not many will be more impressive than if he is victorious this afternoon after a challenging year or so for one of the best of all time. 

13:10 CET - The only thing which slowed Matteo Bererrettini (28) down was the rain! The Italian cruises to the Gstaad title with a convincing 6-3, 6-1 win over underdog Quentin Halys (27).

12:20 CET - The opening final of the day has been interrupted due to a rain delay. Matteo Berrettini (28) was leading the final 5-3 and is on course to take the first set but the rain has put a pause to the Italian's ambitions.
