The first title is the most difficult one. So once you get it, you feel happy. I remember it was a tough match, five sets against Canas, a great fighter. I was really happy at the time. Hopefully, I can feel the same now here on Sunday. |
The match at the time was more my way. After he broke me to go (up) 3-1 and I broke him back, I felt pretty good. But once he won the second set, the match was completely different. I was having a hard time attacking him. He was returning my serve very well. |
The match was close, but after I got the break (in the second game of the third set), I had a lot of confidence. I was playing better and better. |
The rain took my rhythm off, ... At the same time, he started playing great. |
The surface was very fast, but we knew that before... I have nothing to say against the surface, it was the same for him as for me. |
The week was good. I lost in the final, but overall, it was a good week and good preparation for the U.S. Open. |
Then the match was for him or for me. It was really close all the time, but I really played good at 4-4 in the third set and then won my serve. |
They are his friends. They want him to win. |
