WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

 

Pouille

“It was a very tough match. The second-set tie-break was very important and the key to winning the match. I took my opportunities a little bit more than him, so that made the difference. Obviously If you win the first tournament of the grass season, you’re very confident. Every tournament is different, so I’ll need to focus again and get ready for my first match in Halle.”

 

Lopez

“It was a very good week for me overall. It’s tough for me to be happy after such a close match, but he deserved the win today. I’ve been very loyal to this tournament. I grew up watching all my friends win this tournament, but everyone here has made it even better than it was in the past.”

 

Murray

“We had a few close losses this year and it was nice to see it through and get it over the line and get another trophy.”

 

Soares

“Very tough win. The court is playing fast, so not easy. Everyone is serving well so not many chances… We stayed strong, kept serving well and played a great game at 5-5 to break and played a great ‘breaker.”
