Many thanks to my team and to the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy for making my dreams a reality. My agendas, my father who has been with me all my life. This tournament was truly incredible. All of you in the stands, you did it for me, so emotional. I’ve never felt more support than I felt at the O2 Arena throughout the week. I owe almost everything to you. It was great to play in this court, I played some awesome games and I hope you all enjoyed it. Finally, I would like to thank all the sponsors, because without them, this tournament would not have come true. Of course a big thank you to my personal sponsors who have supported me for a long time. I am sure that with Dominic we will fight many times as opponents in the future and I hope we share the victories. We will reach an agreement later. “
