Congratulations to both first time champions: Taro Daniel won his first ATP World Tour singles title in Istanbul earlier this month and Marton Fucsovics just won his first ATP World Tour singles. The joy of victory was so clearly evident in the face of both champions and sadly so was the agony of defeat in the expressions of their opponent, who came out on the losing end.
