Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

But it just takes him to that extra plateau.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

Yeah, I agree.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

I'm really happy for him to be able to get that win and take the monkey off the back as well as being the best player not to win a Grand Slam and all that sort of thing, considering the players that he's had to contend with over the years.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

Okay, the women.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

This was amazing.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

We had a first-time winner.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

in a major championship, defeat a qualifier.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

And I mean, Trulinska was creating history everywhere.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

She looks pretty much through the two weeks.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

Um, but we still had a winner that's been knocking on the door for a while.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

Yeah.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

And Trulinska, incredible story.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

When it gets back to what you just said before about like, almost like the length of the, of the slam.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

I mean, she's been playing in Paris for three weeks, played, played nine matches, um,

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

and the conditions were just dramatically different from the beginning.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

There was the first week of the main draw was just like the biggest heat wave in Paris, in the event history, I think.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

And so you think of all she's had to go through, beat some, you know, big sculpts in, uh, Zhang Jingweng, uh, Sakari, Elise Mertens, um, Schneider, like big solid wins.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

So it was just an incredible story, but, um, I think it was also, as you mentioned on Mira Andreeva, it was,

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

probably not a big shock she won in the end and you know she's still only 19 and we've always talked about her being you know a potential Grand Slam winner and I think it's the first of many more for her

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

Yeah, I agree.
