Sinner is the first Italian in the history of tennis to win the ATP tournament in Montpellier, a French tournament that however saw several interesting names as protagonists.

Here is the match point that closed the match:

Sinner said: “First of all I would like to thank everyone for the great atmosphere. To be honest, the first key was keeping up the service. Then in the tie break I tried to take advantage of some of his mistakes and keep my serve. I repeat, it was perhaps more complicated than winning points over him. However the second set was a little different.

I had some chances at the partial start, but in the end I managed to break towards the end and close. I’m really happy. I thank all the audience for the unique support you have given me during the week. I can’t wait to play here again next year and I really thank everyone. I would like to congratulate Sinner for what he has done. He only played three matches, but I’m impressed with your level and wish you the best of luck throughout the rest of the season. You were incredible today.”
