* Haase, 29, is now 2-3 in ATP World Tour finals. Three years ago, he lost to Mikhail Youzhny in the Gstaad title match.
* Julio Peralta and Horacio Zeballos won their second ATP World Tour team trophy in their second final (also 2016 Sao Paulo).

WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Lopez: “It’s an amazing feeling, I’ve been waiting 10 years to win this title. It’s been a long wait since 2006, but it’s been worth it. This is a very special tournament, with a lot of tradition, where a lot of Spaniards have won in the past. It’s a unique place to play.”

Haase: “Three years ago, I received a goat [named Antonia] for reaching the final. So this year, I was dreaming about winning a cow and the trophy. Hopefully I can come back next year and do better. Congrats to Feli, who played great his week.”

Peralta: “We’re really happy and enjoyed this tournament a lot. It’s pleasing to finish the week this way. I feel really good playing with Horacio and we’re motivated to keep playing together.”

Zeballos: “We’ve beaten the best team of the tournament. This give us tonnes of confidence to play together in the future. In my opinion, we kept our focus from the first ball, trying to dominate the match. That was a key.”
