(When) I came here I had no confidence, I hadn't played like this in a long time. Everything was great tonight, the court, the public, the opponent. I respect Calleri a lot, he is a great player who hits the ball hard. |
Being in the final is a great birthday present, |
But he doesn't have any real weaknesses. I've got enormous respect for him, he's a role model for me and a very nice guy. |
I am getting more confidence on grass and I know now that I can play serve and volley, |
I feel a lot better, ... I feel like I saw my progress. |
I have to play more matches to be as good as I can on the surface, but I have reached two quarterfinals now so it is a very good time for me. |
I hope to win this final to make it an even better birthday. |
I just ran out of juice in the end, I had nothing more to give. I'm extremely tired after the Davis Cup, both mentally and physically. |
I'm not lucky. If I play another player and don't play really good I think I can win. But with Haas, it's impossible. He's a great player. |
I'm very pleased to have got the first two rounds out of the way, |
It wasn't easy out there but I played a really good match. Winning in five sets is fantastic. |
Now there's a big match awaiting me. I won't be the favorite but if I can beat Nadal it would be fantastic. |
There are some tactics you can use against (Federer), |
This is a great win for me, |
What happened here last year was not good for me, ... But I now have more experience and am more mature. I worked a lot after my disqualification, and I think I learned a lot. |
