After reaching a quarter final, a semifinal and a final during his last three visits to the Ricoh Open, Gilles Muller finally managed to win the final. He defeated Ivo Karlovic in two \u200bset \u200btiebreaks.<\/p>
Earlier this year the 34-year-old Luxemburger\u00a0 won his first ATP title in Sydney. \u2018I proved in Rosmalen that winning that first title was not accidental,\u2019\u00a0 Muller \u200bsaid following his victory in\u00a0the Ricoh Open.<\/p>
\u2018I am very happy. I had to wait for my first title for 16 years and now I have won two in one year. What more can I wish for\u200b?\u200b In general I am very satisfied, especially about my last two matches.<\/p>
\u200bThey\u200b were my best matches of the year,\u2019 said the left-hander, who defeated the world\u2019s number 10, Alexander Zverev, in the semifinal.<\/p>
\u200b’\u200bWhen you play against Ivo Karlovic you don\u2019t always have ever\u200by\u200bthing in control and you have to prepare differently\u200b’\u200b, said the happy Muller. \u2018It is easy and difficult at the same time. You know there won\u2019t be many rallies and that you have to be patient.\u2019<\/p>
\u2018Sometimes you can not hit one ball against Ivo, because he only hits aces, or he finishes it near the net. He has good volleys. That one chance he gives you, you have to take,\u2019 according to the new Ricoh Open champion.<\/p>
