WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Tsonga: "I had a complete match with no gaps, as opposed to yesterday. Of course, it's a lot easier when I can make a difference in two or three shots. If I had to define this week, I would simply say it was a perfect one.

"This is the first time I have been able to defend a title. So it's even more special that it's here at the Moselle Open, where I am the ambassador."

Seppi: "I want to congratulate Jo because he played too well today. His serve was impressive and there's very little I could do. Unfortunately, this is the way it goes sometime indoors, matches go by really fast without being able to do anything. It was a great week for me and overall I am happy to have reached the final here."

Mahut: “It is fantastic to win here again; it was the first tournament I won in 2003 [w/ Julien Benneteau], and I believe I came back every year since then. We had again a great week with Edouard. We dropped only one set all week, and after winning in Montpellier and Marseille, we are proving to be a very solid team and it’s a pleasure to lift a third title in France this year.”

Roger-Vasselin: “I am delighted to be able to win here in Metz; each time I come here the organisation makes me feel like at home. It was again a great week with Nicolas. It’s a pity we don’t get to play more together because I really think we could have a shot at qualifying for the [Barclays ATP World Tour] Finals.”
