After winning the trophy, Deni commented

“It was tough, this being my first Challenger final. I started off a little bit nervous, I was having trouble holding on my serve, but I knew if I could stay in the rallies, then I would get my chances. I think I did very well competing and making sure I had a chance to win today.”
