I am very happy with the win. I am very happy to be in the final and give myself an opportunity to win a tournament here, i made 15 aces so my serve was doing alright ... Delbonis beat great players on this surface already, he has done well on this surface and I think winning against him is a good win.

When I was growing up, I played a lot of different sports. There was a time when I was playing field hockey, tennis, and soccer at the same time. I was actually quite good at all of those sports.

I think the reason my relationship works so well with my dad is that we can separate our tennis lives from our personal lives.

There's no big secret to training. But different body, different training. With me, you have to build muscles but also stay flexible and stay kind of soft, which I am naturally.

I don't go to nightclubs or discoteque. That's not going to happen. I wear Zegna all the time. Outside of the court, I'm wearing Zegna. That's all I'm wearing.

I had a lot of success in big tournaments as well - won Masters Series in Rome - so a lot of things are coming together. I've done a lot of hard work in the off-season. A lot of physical work, a lot of work on my serve and on my return game.

hard-work together work success

I think I'm the first 1990-born guy to win a Masters 1000, so it's quite special to be the first one in a very strong group of guys. There are a lot of guys playing great, and hopefully there are going to be a lot more coming.

Booing - I never like it. We see it in other sports all the time, but in tennis, it's rare.

I've been shadowing my brother since I was a little kid. Maybe that helped me feel more comfortable with the big guys.

Me and my brother are players that spend three to four hours in the gym every day doing running, lifting heavy weights, and doing treadmill stuff.
