“It is great to be fighting ion be fighting on the court against you,” Tsitsipas said of his opponent at the trophy presentation. “I feel like you make me a better player and I hope I make you too.”
Tsitsipas won 78% of his first serve points and finished the tournament without dropping a set.
The last player that had won back-to-back trophies in this tournament was Sweden’s Thomas Enqvist in 1997-98.
