Sometimes the ATP puts a lot of pressure on the players and sometimes you get injured because you play on a dangerous surface. Nothing happens, no one pays for that.

They played very well. We tried to do our best, I think we played at a very good level, but they played better than us. It’s not funny to be 2-1 down, but that’s the...

It’s really important for me. I really surprised everybody with this victory.

I’m confident every time I play good and I’m playing better now that at the beginning of the tournament. But all the players are tough right now.

It’s difficult to compare with last year, but overall I feel comfortable here,

Unfortunately, I’m not in any physical condition to play. It’s a pity I won’t be able to play in this tournament, as it is our home tournament.

It was a strange match, he doesn’t give you any rhythm. I have to work my way into the tournament.

He’s very young; he play very good; he will be more dangerous than today.

He didn’t lose many matches during the year and he never loses in finals,

He wasn’t running around as much as before so if I kept up my level I would win. He is very young and he needs to work on his physical shape, but he has plenty...

We played an incredible match,

It’s not the best way to start, but is good always to win. Doesn’t matter the score. I know that was longer than I expect.

The altitude is similar to a few other tournaments.

I couldn’t do my best shots in the first set so it was very tough — both of us had break points but nobody could make it. Then I start playing a little better and...

When he plays like this, it’s really tough to beat him, … That’s why he’s No. 1 in the world and he loses just a few matches during the year.

In the beginning, it was very tough, windy. I was a bit nervous. When I got a bit of confidence, I started hitting harder and better, with angles near to the line.

I had a lot of chances to win the match. I can’t understand why I missed these chances. It’s tough.

It was amazing, two points in one day, that was perfect for the team. We came here to win three points and we have two so we just need one more. It’s going to be...

I always play good in the big tournaments,

It’s not the best way to start but it’s good always to win, the score doesn’t matter.

I played well today. I was comfortable although it’s difficult to compare my level with last year. But if I keep up this standard, I will be in the final again.

I played almost perfect from the beginning until the end. So I’m very happy.

I didn’t serve good, I couldn’t find my game.

I feel that I can keep going, so I have to keep working, keep playing, keep focus.

I think I surprised all the world, beating (Federer) with his record, the No. 1 of the world. He doesn’t lose matches almost, so it’s really incredible.

I’m very confident we can win and it’s going to be incredible.

I was the last guy to get into the tournament, so it’s normal,

When Roger plays like this, … he is very tough to beat. His forehand is very good. He improved so much the backhand. Against me, against nobody, he makes (no) mistakes.

An opening match is always tough, so the most important thing is the result.

I think he’s playing good right now. You never know.

I think he played much better than me. I didn’t serve good, so that was a big, important thing. I couldn’t find my game. I couldn’t find any free points with the serve. That complicates...

I didn’t spend a lot of time on court, so I am happy for that. I am happy because I played very good. Every round, better and better.

The advantage came with the tiebreak, … From that point the match followed the path I wanted it to follow.

I think Paris might be in danger. I have to see tomorrow what is happening with my leg.

I didn’t feel hundred percent yet. In the middle of the third set, I lose power, lose everything, and don’t feel good. But, well, that’s normal. I was sick in the beginning of the week,...
