“It's always a nice feeling when you win. This week was really tough for me”, he said after Sunday’s final. “I lost my first set 6-1 in 20 minutes (to Slovakian Norbert Gombos). But each day I felt better and better”.
Despite losing, 25-year-old Hanfmann, the world number 170 who has had a hearing impairment since birth, enjoyed the best result of his career this week in reaching the final, having also knocked out third seed, Spaniard Feliciano López in the second round.
