Press Conference

Y. HANFMANN/T. Kokkinakis

6-2, 6-3, 6-2

THE MODERATOR: Welcome today. Congratulations on the win. Quite a convincing one too. What were you seeing on the court today?

YANNICK HANFMANN: Unbelievable feeling because the walk in on the court was something I think maybe in soccer matches you have it sometimes, but this was a much smaller court and the atmosphere that the crowd brought today was incredible. I mean, I walked on court and I asked Thanasi, like, what the hell is going on here? And I think even he was a bit taken off-guard.

And then to play a match like that, to not get rattled, really, to play a three-set match. I don't think I got broken. Yeah, unbelievable. I'm really happy. And that's also my first Grand Slam win, so, yeah.
