“It feels really good. It’s been a long time since I’ve won an ATP 250 tournament, so it’s a great feeling,” Fucsovics said. “I was working really hard for it. Today was a tough one, but I was fighting until the end.”

Fucsovics lifted his maiden trophy at the Geneva Open in Switzerland when he became the first Hungarian tour-level titlist since Balazs Taroczy at Hilversum in 1982. He earned € 88,125 in prize money as well as 250 ATP Ranking points.

“At some point, I felt like playing at home. Thanks for everyone coming out and supporting me, supporting us. Thank you,” Fucsovics said.
