Tennis players from the Czech Republic Petr Nouza и Andrew Paulsen are the winners of this year's competition Challenger 75 Macedonian Open 2023 after defeating the top seeds in the final Shriran Balaji и Jivan Nedunchezian from India with 2-0 in sets (7:6 (5) and 6:3) in 92 minutes of play.

The first set was maximally equal and none of the pairs managed to make a "break", and the tennis players used their service to win the game, so it was 4:3. In the eighth game, there were also the first "break" balls for the tennis players from India, but they did not use them.

In the next game, there were again two "break" balls unused, but for the Czech tennis players, and it was the same in the 11th game.

After 6:6 in the games, the tie "break" followed, where the opponent's service points were on stage (mini "break"). The "tie break" ended with 7:5 points for Nowza and Paulson, who came from a 2:4 deficit to 5:4, which was crucial for winning the first set.

In the second set, the lead was firmly on the side of the Czechs, who in the eighth game used the first "break" ball and took the lead with 5:3, and immediately after that they won the game 6:3 on their own serve, using the first match point.
