[DUN I LOVE]

Sporo mamy nowych triumfatorów w tym roku, ale (patrząc np. na ankietę) kilku bardzo fajnych grajków cały czas czeka.

[Barty]

No i doczekał się swego i Adrian Mannarino. Jak powiedział, nie będzie udawał, że się nadaje do Top10, ten wygrany turniej to już dla niego super sprawa.

[DUN I LOVE]

Szczery chłopak.

Felix musi jeszcze poczekać, ale max w 2020 pewnie coś wrzuci do torby.

[Barty]

No to dokładamy 2 nowych grajków, w tym końcu jednego z ankiety, na którego poszedł jakikolwiek głos.

First-Time Winner Spotlight: Lorenzo Sonego

Spoiler:

Italian earns his maiden moment in Antalya
Lorenzo Sonego began 2019 with five tour-level wins. Yet, the 24-year-old Italian earned five victories this week alone en route to claiming his first ATP Tour title at the Turkish Airlines Open Antalya, an ATP 250 tournament.

Sonego, who reached the quarter-finals of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters this April as a qualifier, faced championship point against #NextGenATP Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in the final. But he used a big serve to get out of trouble, and never looked back.

You entered Antalya with six straight tour-level losses. Now you are an ATP Tour champion. How does it feel?
This is tennis. Today you win, tomorrow you lose. Today I won a tournament, tomorrow I need to focus on Wimbledon. I need to start again from the first round. It’s tough because all the players are very good, but I love it. My team and I focus on getting better. The better I become, the more stable the results will be.

Already in 2019, four different Italians have won ATP Tour titles. How do you explain the rise of the Italians?
We are a great group of friends. We push each other and we motivate each other. We often practise together, especially with Matteo [Berrettini]. I think that Italy has a great tennis future ahead.

In the final, you hit 25 aces and saved the only break point you faced on championship point. Was that the best serving performance of your career?
Well on the grass it’s easier to hit aces, but I am satisfied with how I served during the whole week. We have been working for months on improving the serve.

You lost the first set in three of your five matches this week. How do you explain your ability to come back, especially in the heat of Antalya?
I don’t really care when I lose a set or two or I am down in the final set. I just get more and more intense while the matches progress. I don’t get easily tired, so losing a set is not a major problem.

You’ve qualified for six tournaments in 2019. Has that been the key to your rise in your confidence this season?
Yes, for sure. The step from Challengers to Tour events is not easy at all. I had difficulties in winning Challengers and now I win an ATP event, it’s amazing. But I think that the real confidence boost has been the week in Monte-Carlo. I arrived from Marrakech without sleep, as I had travelled all night and I qualified and reached the quarter-finals. There I understood I would not go back to playing Challengers anymore.

You had to finish your semi-final and play the final on Saturday. How difficult was it to go to sleep on Friday with so much to do before you could win the title?
I was calm, not stressed at all. I slept good. Maybe Pablo needed to be stressed. I needed two games, he needed two games and one more set. I knew that he had had difficulties in returning my serve so I knew I would get my chances.

First-Time Winner Spotlight: Taylor Fritz

Spoiler:

American captures maiden tour-level crown in Eastbourne

Four years after making his ATP Tour debut at the Nature Valley International, when the event was held in Nottingham, Taylor Fritz ended his week at the ATP 250 grass-court tournament as the champion.

The 21-year-old American, competing in his second tour-level championship match, defeated countryman Sam Querrey in straight sets to lift his first trophy on the British South Coast. Fritz's maiden ATP Tour championship match came over three years ago at 2016 Memphis, but the American has finally captured his first tour-level crown: one of his major goals for the 2019 season.

It was a big surprise when you reached your first final in Memphis, what does it mean to you to win your first title more than three years later?
It's just an amazing feeling. I can't even describe it. After waiting what feels like so long to win a title after almost winning when I was 18, over three years ago, it is just great to finally win.

When you hit the ace on championship point, you threw your racquet and screamed. What were your emotions in that moment?
There was just so much going on. You play the whole match and obviously you're nervous, but I just tried not to think about it and keep my emotions in the whole match. Everything just came out when I hit the serve and knew that I had won.

You and Sam Querrey are both Californians who practise often together and you have played each other five times. Was it difficult to play someone you know so well?
No. We've played lots of times and I got used to playing other Americans in the juniors all the time. I guess it is tough as we both know each other's tricks and what kind of things we like to do on the court. But luckily for me today, I handled everything well and played well.

You become the third current 21-year-old American to own an ATP Tour title, joining Frances Tiafoe and Reilly Opelka. Was there added pressure to join that club?
I wouldn't say added pressure, but maybe added desire to win my first title and be alongside those Americans with titles. It feels really good to be with them now.


In 2016, you reached No. 53 in the ATP Rankings and then fell out of the Top 100. How would you describe your journey to your first ATP title?
It has just been a lot of work. At the end of 2016, I just mismanaged my body and kept playing on an injury. It took me longer to come back and set me back in 2017 and I just wasn't myself. But since 2018, I have felt like I have really done a good job staying healthy. A bit of ankle issues here and there, but [I've] been really on top of it. I am working hard and training hard. What I have thought about is 2017 was the off-year and 2018 is how I felt like I should have continued from 2016. I keep progressing forward and I am more motivated than ever to keep working.

Now that you have won an ATP Tour title, what are your goals for the rest of the season?
One of my biggest goals was to win a title and one of my other goals was to finish the year and be seeded for the Australian Open next year. I just want to keep playing well, I'd love to finish the year [in the] Top 20 and just keep improving my game.

Denis Shapovalov od początku turnieju ATP w Sztokholmie spisywał się bardzo dobrze. W drodze do finału Kanadyjczyk nie stracił żadnego seta. W meczu o trofeum także nie oddał partii swojemu przeciwnikowi. Pokonał 6:4, 6:4 Filipa Krajinovicia.
W niedzielnym meczu, jak przez cały turniej, Shapovalov grał niezwykle ofensywnie, a przy tym skutecznie, oraz doskonale serwował. Ani razu nie oddał własnego podania, a sam w każdym z setów przełamał Krajinovicia i dzięki temu odniósł zwycięstwo.


Dla 20-letniego Shapovalova to pierwszy w karierze tytuł rangi ATP Tour. Został 15. tenisistą, który w tym sezonie zdobył swoje debiutanckie trofeum. Za wygraną w Intrum Stockholm Open zainkasuje 250 punktów do rankingu i 109,5 tys. euro. - Ten turniej rozpoczął się w roku, w którym urodziła się moja mama. Ma wspaniałą historię i to niesamowite, że zostałem pierwszym Kanadyjczykiem, który tu wygrał. Widziałem tablicę z nazwiskami wszystkich zwycięzców i to miło, że moje też tam się znajdzie - mówił, cytowany przez portal atptpour.com.

Krajinović natomiast zagrał w trzecim finale w głównym cyklu i znów musiał pogodzić się z porażką. W listopadzie 2017 w Paryżu przegrał z Jackiem Sockiem, a w kwietniu tego roku w Budapeszcie uległ Matteo Berrettiniemu. Za występ w Sztokholmie otrzyma 150 "oczek" i 59,2 tys. euro. - On zagrał dobrze i był lepszy ode mnie. Dla mnie to był świetny tydzień. Idę dalej i będę pracował - stwierdził Serb.

W finale debla Henri Kontinen i Edouard Roger-Vasselin wygrali 6:4, 6:2 z Mate Paviciem i Bruno Soaresem, zdobywając swój pierwszy wspólny tytuł. Łącznie dla Fina to 23. deblowe trofeum rangi ATP Tour, a dla Francuza - 20.
