I didn't expect to be in the final. I'm very happy. |
I gave it all and risked it all. It's a happy day for us. |
I love to play Davis Cup. I fight to the end. Sometimes I like to prove to myself that I can still go the distance. |

That topspin lob was the key to the match. That was my chance there. |
