Fernando: it has been a long time!

“It’s been a long time since I’ve won a singles title. It’s a very important day for me to win a tournament after a few years, and after the injury in my knee the last couple years, not feeling so well and not being able to play a few matches in a row feeling well. I’m so happy for everything in general.”

Fernando now will fly straight to Monte-Carlo where he is going to clash against Cilic in the opener. Head to head is 4-4
