The duo claimed victory against Austrian Oliver Marach and Croatian Mate Pavić after the latter pair retired at 7-5, 4-1 sets in the final.

The Antalya Open, an ATP World Tour 250 series event, is a grass court tournament. The win means a fourth title for the Pakistani player in the current year.

The Pakistani ace player, ranked 26th in the world, had a tough season last year as without a steady partner to play with, he ended up finishing as the 40^th-ranked player in the world at the end of the season. That ranking also deprived him from participating at the London Masters.
