WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Del Potro

“I’ve been trying to fix my problems for the past two years and I didn’t expect to win a title at this moment in my career. I am so happy to get the trophy here. It’s motivation for looking forward to the future.

“I don’t really mind the rankings or the numbers. I just want to play better. When I’m 100 per cent I know I can be dangerous.”

Jack Sock

“It was a tough match. His serve is massive and very tough to read, which put more pressure on my serve. He just played well today. I’ve had a long week here and it might have caught up with me a bit.”

Elias Ymer

“I don’t think me or Mikael expected our first ATP title to come in doubles, especially here in our hometown of Stockholm. We had a great time and I really enjoyed playing with my brother.”

Mikael Ymer

“It’s been unreal. We clicked really well and played some great doubles. I’m really happy with this win and I’m excited for our future together in doubles.”
