"I came late due to Davis Cup, which didn't go so well, but it's been a brilliant week," Hutchins added.

"We combined very well, haven't dropped a set, only played one tiebreak, so just played some amazing stuff.

"It feels unbelievable. It's my second final and I made the semi-finals here last year, so it's great to go one better."
