The fourth seed, Nikolos Pasilashvili, won Saturday the title of the tennis tournament of the Hamburg Open with a 7-5, 4-6 and 6-3 victory over the Russian Andrei Ruplev.
The third title of Pascalashvili, 27, in his professional career, after being crowned twice in Hamburg and at the China Games in Beijing in October.
Basilavshvili, 16th in the world, will lose points in the Professional Players Association's international ranking because he won the German championship last year after qualifying.

The 21-year-old has failed to clinch his second career title after the Umpag of Croatia 2017, finishing third in his career after losing the Doha final last year.
The Georgian lost early in the first set but managed to compensate him when he beat the Russian sent in the sixth match to his sixth chance of breaking the transmission.
