Tara Daniel

Istanbul Open

Singles - Final
T. Daniel (JPN) d M. Jaziri (TUN) 76(4) 64

It has been an up-and-down season for Tara Daniel as he defeated Novak Djokovic in Indian Wells, followed by a slump where he lost four of five matches. But he rebounded to win his first ATP Tour title in Turkey.

“[I'm] obviously really happy. I think today was a great match, a lot of long rallies from the beginning until the end,” Daniel said. “Very happy. I'm obviously pretty surprised that I suddenly won an ATP [World Tour title]. But I guess things like this happen.”
