The Spanish star, who defeated Taylor Fritz to win his third Abierto Mexicano title, shared his happiness with the press.

Rafael Nadal beat Fritz 6-3, 6-2 to win his third title at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC. Nadal shared his excitement with the press and said he put in a great performance in Acapulco.

The Abierto Mexicano is a special event for Nadal because it was the first major title he won in his career. And the Spanish star always feels at home in Acapulco.

”I couldn’t be happier. I played a great event from the beginning to the end,” Nadal said. “Acapulco was the first big title that I won in my career, so to be able to stay here after 15 years is amazing. I can’t thank enough the people who make me feel at home every single time."

The 33-year-old further said the triumph doesn't mean he'll have a great season. But he admitted winning in Acapulco boosts his confidence.

“This title doesn’t mean that I will have a great season. It means another good start of the season for me. It gives me confidence, allows me to be in a privileged position in the ATP Race [To London]. At the end of the day, I’m still competing for these feelings that I am having right now. Regardless of the result, I am always happy after playing here. Now imagine how I am after getting the title!”
