I played a very good match. I tried to play my game. I guess he didn't play a great match and I played great. So when this happens, anything can happen. |
I played against him in Rome and Hamburg this year, won twice in straight sets. Also, I haven't lost to a Spaniard this year yet, so hopefully tomorrow this will continue. |
I played well. I'm feeling good about my game. I had to play two matches in a day this week due to the rain, so I'm glad to be fresh for the final. |
I think I was very lucky. He had lots of chances in both sets. |
I thought I played well but he was still good enough to take a set off me. He produced some good winners in the second set and the chances he took paid off. |
I turned up for the most important date of my life in front of so many people so at the start I was a little nervous, |
I wanted to try but I couldn't even walk....it's disappointing but these things happen in tennis, |
I was playing very well, I was very confident and the match was pretty open so it was a pity to end it this way. |
I'm motivated and focused to make it three titles in a row, but it won't be easy. |
I'm not playing my 100 percent, perhaps because I'm a bit rusty at the start of the season. |
In the tiebreaker, I was up 4-0 and again 5-2, and then came the aces from Ivan. You've got to be careful against guys like him, he serves a couple of aces and he's there again. |
It has been a great start of the year, |
It isn't going to be easy, but we come here to win. Who knows how difficult it is going to be playing Australia on grass, but we have to accept it. |
It was a close match and then three minutes later it was over, |
It was a close match and then three minutes later it was over, ... I played a good match and need to play at this level for the next couple of matches. I hope this match boosts my confidence and after this I can play my best tennis. Sooner or later I know I'm going to play well again so I hope it's here. |
