This is probably the most special Grand Slam final in my career,

You know, two aces, I think that definitely calms you down straightaway.

But my reaction was good and I feel very good right now because it was a tough match.

I wonder why I always play so well, especially on the big occasions. It seems to click for me.

A different day, a different opponent. It changes things,

I knew I had to return well today and get him to work hard on his serve if I was to win.

I’ve been waiting for this moment a long time. I’ve never gone 6-0, 6-0 on the ATP tour and I don’t remember the last time I played someone ranked that low.

I still get that feeling. It’s good like this.

I’m really looking forward to that match.

It’s always very emotional, winning here, because of Peter, then Tony.

He played pretty well to come back.

I’ve got to adjust quite a bit to play Rafael. But I already feel like I’m improving a lot. The more I play against him, the more I’ll be able to figure out his game...

At a young age like this, it is extraordinary, really. I’m a big fan of his game. It’s something I haven’t seen in – basically never.

Being a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.

I don’t mind fans coming up in a friendly, respectful way. That’s all part of the fun of being a top tennis player. But if people take pictures without permission, particularly if my children are...

I was not so happy the way I was playing. That game was huge and I started to feel like I’m really in control again.

From the first moment I walked on this centre court I always had the feeling it’s a nice one, … I really had the sense I was returning very well, hardly giving him any points,...

A friend offered me $10 for every match I win 7-6 in the third set. It was too little, so I didn’t accept it. But then he raised it to $20 and I couldn’t refuse....

This doesn’t happen every day so you better enjoy this moment,

I got my chances, but I didn’t make it.

What a pity for him, … But we’ll see much more from him I’m sure.

Dude, you’re the king. Start acting like it!

It is tricky having never heard of him.

It was a fantastic match.

I was hoping it was going to be easier, obviously, but he played well. He definitely served well, and I was playing quite passive.

I didn’t give him much chance. I’m playing so well this week, it was tough for him from the start.

I know he’s so tough,

I was little bit surprised, … I don’t play much in the morning anymore.

I am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food.

I can’t believe I did it so smoothly in straight sets. It’s a huge relief, but there’s still two days of pressure.

I definitely had the feeling I was playing more aggressively than I was the first two matches because, maybe, it’s just a better feeling I have now from the baseline.

That game was huge, absolutely,

I had sort of a strange feeling going into this match. Not a negative one, but just like a big excitement because I knew, I’m so close for another Grand Slam.

It’s Andre. It’s more emotional. … This is one of the biggest matches in my career. I better be playing well.

You can’t keep it up all the time. It’s hard on you mentally and physically. It’s a draining sport,

In the end I really had to play some good and tough points to get through because he was making me work extremely hard.

I’m very happy because today was difficult. Marat returns well and serves well on any surface so the points are quick and that’s why he’s so dangerous.

I expected a close match. I thought maybe he was even slightly the favorite because of what I’ve been going through the last few weeks. Obviously, I’m very pleased with the result because a win...

It’s great to find some momentum early in the season.

It’s fantastic to play in front of him.

He played pretty well to come back. The match could have been over very quickly, but he hung in there.

I’m satisfied to have won and relieved it’s over. It was not easy. I didn’t play great but you need time to adapt to the surface.

I’m not over-confident, just very confident, … I just know what I have to do. I know my game’s in place now. Once I win a certain number of matches, I know what I can...

Obviously it’s tough for the opponent, at two sets down at 10:15 in the evening, to believe that he can turn it around against me,

I’m as patient a father as I am on the tennis court. It takes a lot for me to get really upset, but sometimes kids can get you really cross if they really keep bugging...

I had to get back into the match. I almost had the feeling it was an uphill battle all the way.

My second trip to Shanghai is a surprise. Everything is great here. The facilities, the atmosphere and the weather in Shanghai are great, … I am looking forward to competing with the other seven great...

He hung in there and played well. I’m really happy I got a good start in the third set. I’ve had some tough matches with Arnaud in the past.

It was a tough match,

It was very tough, probably the most special grand slam final in my career. To play against Andre, here in New York, it’s a dream.
