I am very young, and he is an unbelievable player, one of the best in history and the best player now by far. If you look at the rankings, if you look at the points,...

This was the best match of my career. It was such a tough match. I’m so happy to have won, it’s unbelievable.

I’m only superstitious on the tennis court.

Even if I have already peaked, I have to believe I can improve. I wake up every morning, and go to practice, with the illusion that I’m going to get better that day.

Hard courts are very negative for the body. I know the sport is a business and creating these courts is easier than clay or grass, but I am 100 per cent sure it is wrong.

As long as I am in good form, I am able to win any match on both clay and hard.

I have total confidence that I am going to play well on Saturday,

I never thought I would win (this many tournaments) before the beginning of the year.

This year is almost impossible to repeat,

For me it’s another match against the world number one? He’s the best sportsman in the world today. But he’s also a normal person and that’s not easy when you’re the best tennis player in...

I always think about victory. It was very important for me to stay in this final. If I play my best I have a chance (against Federer). I’m going to play aggressively, with determination.
