After the match, Jo-Wilfried commented
“I’m really happy. These titles come at the right moments. The last couple of months I put in a lot of effort to come back to this level. It’s a huge reward for me, and it gives me new expectations for the rest of the year.
I changed my serve and worked a lot on my backhand and my returns. I also changed my strings. There were many things to improve my game and do things better. Today it’s a reward, and I will try to be better and better. In the second set, I had another mentality on court. I was more aggressive, and it made the difference.”
