WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Bautista Agut
“I played very good, very aggressively. I didn't give him all the court, all the control of the game. I played very good tennis tonight.”

“That means a lot, to win this trophy… I think the past winners [in Dubai] are the best tennis players in the era. That makes me so happy.”

Pouille
“I think he played some great tennis tonight. Even if I think I had some opportunities, especially in the second set where I got the break, 3-1 up, I couldn't conserve it.”
