First ATP 250 Final
After many weeks in the US on hardcourt I ended my US trip in Houston ATP 250 and the Men´s Claycourt Championship.
It felt good to be back on the red clay and my game was in a good place. I delivered some good matches and defeated Dellien , Opelka, Granollers and Galan to reach the final. My first ever 250 final and a new goal was reached. I lost the final to Garin but we had a good match with heavy claycourt game from both of us. I felt my game improved with every match played and was now looking forward to continuing the clay season in Europe.
I really enjoyed the ATP Houston tournament. A very well organized tournament with people wanting to help all the time.
