This is Del Potro’s 14th career title.
From Del Potro
“It’s amazing. I’m so happy to win this tournament,” said del Potro.
“I played really well from the first round to the final. I think I played the way I needed to, to win this kind of tournament.”
“I had been serving well all week, but at the beginning of the match I was nervous and he broke me,” he added.
“Then in the second set I felt confident on my first serve and didn’t give him a chance to break me. I closed the match with a fantastic service game. He deserved to be in the final. He played a really good match today. He was fighting all the time and I think I did a very good job today.”
From Benneteau
The Frenchman had a wonderful tournament to beat King Roger and lose only in the final.
“I fought hard to come back in the first set,” said the Frenchman. “I was always under pressure, I had to save a lot of break points. It’s difficult to keep that level of intensity all the time. He did that better than me.
“It was a good match. I was not too tight, I played my game. He was just too strong today. It’s disappointing because it’s a final, but I did what I could.”
