“It is unbelievable. It was obviously a goal [to win the title], but I thought it would be really, really tough,” Berrettini said. “I don’t even think I played my best tennis, but that is why I am even more proud of myself. Mentally I was really tough."

"I did an unbelievable job to be there. I fought hard and this means a lot. My body is hurting a little bit. It had been three matches without matches and today was almost three hours, so I am feeling it."
