[1] A Qureshi (PAK) / J Rojer (NED) defeated [4] J Knowle (AUT) / D Marrero (ESP) 7-5, 7-5

Quotes From The Players:

Juan Martin del Potro says: “I felt I played really well today. I felt it was my best match of the week, so I am very glad for that to get another title in Estoril. I played really aggressive all the time and I felt really confident on my forehand. I grew in confidence every game. It is important for me. I played my best to beat Gasquet.”

On how he is playing: “I am getting closer and closer to my best form. I have worked really hard at home and now I have another important tournament next week to improve further. If I play as well as I did today over the coming days, I will be happy.”

Richard Gasquet says: “He played very well. He’s very powerful, has a great service, a great forehand and backhand. He deserved this win. He played better than me. He’s very tall and has a good second serve and was hitting the ball very well. He was the better player today.”

On finishing runner-up this week: “It’s good for me to reach a final. It was a good tournament to prepare for the clay season. I get confidence from this tournament.”

Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi says: “It is a great feeling to win our first title together. We never gave up, always believed in each other and our ability. It’s been a tough week. We had a few tough matches and we had a little more pressure with Jules having won it last year.”

Jean-Julien Rojer says: “It’s a good week for both of us. Some would say a much-needed title, but hopefully there will be more to come. We look forward to Madrid and Rome. This is a good build-up for those.”

Serbia Open 2012
Belgrade, Serbia

Tennis Results – SUNDAY, 6 MAY, 2012

Singles – Final

[2] A Seppi (ITA) defeated B Paire (FRA) 6-3, 6-2

Doubles – Final

[3] J Erlich (ISR) / A Ram (ISR) defeated M Emmrich (GER) / A Siljestrom (SWE) 4-6, 6-2, 10-6

Players Quotes:

Andreas Seppi says: “I think my play was really solid this week. Maybe yesterday, the first set was under my expectations, but the rest was very good, so I can be very happy about this victory.”

On his goals for the rest of the season: “My goal is to be back into the Top 30. My highest ranking is 27. At the beginning of the year, I said I wanted to try and get back there. I’m a little closer now. I’ll just try to do it match by match and see if I can manage it by the end of the year.”

Benoit Paire says: “I was stressed and tired today. It’s disappointing that I couldn’t win any easy games with my serve after leading 3-1 in the first set. My first serve percentage was very low and that’s why he was able to attack all the time. I only had hard matches against tough players this week. I’m not used to playing so many hard matches against great players in a row. It was a great week for me but of course I’m disappointed that I couldn’t do better in my first final. I have my birthday in two days and this would have been the perfect gift.”

On his opportunity to move up the rankings: “I’m looking forward to the coming weeks. I have no points to defend in the next three months and that makes it very interesting. I saw this week that I can beat great players and I hope that I can continue like this.”

Jonathan Erlich: “As you grow up, you get more experience on clay. It’s not our favourite surface, but I think we’re playing top tennis on it. We’re getting better and better. The last two weeks, we’ve played very good. We still have a few tournaments ahead of us, so maybe it will be our favourite by the end of the year.”

Andy Ram: “We’re very happy to get our first title of the season. It’s our first clay-court title together on clay, so that’s a relief to finish a tough week by winning the title. We’re climbing slowly and slowly back to the top to where we want to be.”
