At the ATP 250 in Los Cabos on Saturday night, Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated a determined Alex de Minaur comeback to win his first championship of the year.
The top-seeded Tsitsipas won the match against De Minaur in 86 minutes by converting four of his nine break points.
Tsitsipas said in his on-court interview after the match: “I feel like both of us wanted to go out on the court today and show a great final. I feel like it was a great match. Alex showed great tennis, I tried to keep up with the level as much as I could. I’m really happy we were able to deliver a great final today. I think that is the thing that stands out the most. It was a great match and the crowd, as always, was fully present and engaged.”
Talking about the trophy, Tsitsipas joked by saying: “It’s beautiful indeed. They just need to glue it better because it’s started peeling off.”
