We know the finalists of the 26th International Greater Poland Tennis Championships – Astra Coffee & More Open 2025. The title will be contested by the top seed Mathys Erhard and the wild card, Poznań's Fryderyk Lechno-Wasiutyński. In the doubles the trophy will be fought over by Jeffrey Hsu – Karlis Ozolins and Conor Gannon – Harry Rock.
A Saturday of rain
For the second day running the weather forced changes to the schedule. The court crew twice had to dry and prepare the surface after heavy rain. Despite the interruptions, the full set of semi-finals was played in both main draws.

M. Donald641Erhard and Vatutin were the two highest-ranked players left in the draw – the Frenchman is 249th on the ATP list, his opponent 334th. The match had three clear phases: a comfortable first set for the Frenchman, an equally one-sided answer from Vatutin in the second, and Erhard's return in the decider.
Lechno-Wasiutyński lost the first set to Donald, but in the next two gave his opponent only five games in total. The Czech came to Poznań as world No. 691 and was the revelation of the second half of the tournament: in the second round he knocked out the sixth seed Alec Beckley, and in the quarter-final crushed the second seed Corentin Denolly 6-2 6-1.
For the Poznań player it is a first final at this tournament. He entered the main draw on a wild card, ranked 1721st on the ATP list, and on the way knocked out the fourth seed Maks Kaśnikowski, among others.
