Simon: Great week, but tough
Gilles commented “It was a great week, but a tough one physically. I left a lot of energy against Coric [2nd round] and then it was hard to recover from this one. I’m happy I won here since I won my first tournament in Marseille. I hope it won’t be the last one.”
This is Simon’s 12th career title and the first one of the year.
