"I would like to congratulate Ugo for his week and sorry about today. I think I played the best match of the year against you, so I am sorry. I am really happy but sorry Ugo," Ruud said on court after the game.
"I know that against you, if I don't play well, you will destroy me. So I knew I had to wake up and play well.
"All the legends have played here in the past. (Roger) Federer, (Rafael) Nadal, (Bjorn) Borg, (John) McEnroe, you name it. So it is an honour to get a title here."
It was Ruud's second title of 2025 after his victory at the Masters 1000 in Madrid at the beginning of May.
Easy does it 😅💪
