“Thank you. I’ve had the week of my life. I’ve never received such a warm welcome, so thank you for that from my heart”, said Tsitsipas and added to the crowd crying “Thank you Stefan”.

“This cup means a lot to me. He is my first final on masters, thank you to those who helped me, the organizers and, of course, to congratulate Rafa. I want to say thank you to my sponsors, my team and the Muratoglou school for the help they offer me. See you in two years. Thank you, Toronto”.
