This is tennis history for Finland. Winning my first title is also very nice for my country.
confident court emotions felt
I felt that he's not that confident on the court because he doesn't show those emotions that he's usually showing.
course culture good huge reason sweden tennis
I don't see the reason why we couldn't have more good players. But of course in Sweden they have a huge tennis culture that we don't have in Finland.

I feel I am playing better with every round, and really have nothing to lose against Lleyton.
difficult emotions feelings feels finally finals finish great played win won
It's difficult to put my feelings and emotions into words. It really feels great to finally win a title. I've played well in many semifinals and finals but then haven't been able to finish it, but now I've finally won a title, so it feels unbelievable.
