Adrian Mannarino was crowned Lib\u00e9ma Open Champion 2019 on Sunday. The left-handed Frenchman defeated the Australian Jordan Thomas in the final with 7-6(7) 6-3 and won, 30 years old, his first ATP title.<\/p>
\u2018I didn\u2019t expect it at all,\u201d said the left-hander at the end of the day, on which he also had to play the semi-final against second seed Borna Coric. \u201cI had a difficult draw, meeting David Goffin and Fernando Verdasco. Both player I had never beaten before.\u2019<\/p>
Although Mannarino arrived in Rosmalen with remaining physical complaints from the clay season, he did very well on the Brabant grass. \u2018I enjoyed all my matches, although I was very nervous in the semi-final and final.\u2019<\/p>
In the past it was difficult to win a title, who was defeated in six finals of an ATP tournament. \u2018People stop asking after those lost finals,\u2019 said the world\u2019s number 44 and underlined that this title on the Brabant grass is of great importance to him.<\/p>
\u2018This is a big achievement for me. I don\u2019t pretend I am a top 10 player, so to win an ATP tournament is just great. I am very grateful for all the people that supported me in my career.\u2019<\/p>
