WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Khachanov

“I can’t believe I won my first title. I am very happy. I have been working hard and I am happy to achieve my first goal.

“In the second, I was thinking to win the set and keep fighting. I was playing against a guy much higher-ranked than me, so I just had to focus on every goal and keep going. You cannot lose focus and be relaxed. I was just pushing myself to the limit and I got the second set and then the third.”

Ramos-Vinolas

“I fought as much as I could. And I think I didn’t play bad. I can play better but he played so well and what can I say, I’m not happy but maybe I’ll be happy tomorrow. It was not so good today, but also he was serving so well and so fast. That’s why I didn’t return so well.”

Ram

“This week we came with a goal in mind to improve our performance after the US Open. We felt like we didn’t play as well as we could have there. We got through this whole tournament without losing a set. I think it’s a really good step in the right direction for us to finish of the season.”

Klaasen

“It’s their first time together but we know them pretty well individually. Carreno Busta is obviously playing some very good tennis at the moment. We were just talking about it. When he hits the ball, it’s coming very hard. They combine really well as a left and right combination. We really had to play some good stuff out there to get the win. Pretty pleased with our performance.”
