Andy wins his 31st title after 16th months. Last time the American won an ATP title was in Memphis defeating Raonic with maybe the best championship points in tennis history (see article and highlights here).
This time Andy had a bit easier draw in a tournament that is usually not in the list of top players, but it still count for the morale (and the rankings… and the money).
“It’s everything I could have asked for,” he said. “I feel like I can come here and get my work in. The facility has been great. The courts have been great. There’s plenty of practice courts. The community really seems to support this event.
“You know, you’re not dealing with the hustle and bustle of a massive city. I think before a major, that’s nice. You can kind of come down here under the radar and get my work done and really have a positive week. So it was a really good opportunity for me.”
Good stuff! Let’s see if Andy can pull out another fine Wimbledon this year!
