I dont regret anything. I am proud to try a challenge even if I do not exceed.
against enjoyed experience finals great hope last missed played problems serve shots sure today
It was a great experience to play against him and I hope I will get another opportunity. I am not sure I played very well today as I had problems with my serve and missed a lot of shots when he was slicing to my backhand. But I played better than in the last two finals I lost. I enjoyed myself more.
against excited final focus great maintain player playing roger
Roger is such a great player and I can't say how excited I am to be playing the final against him. Hopefully, I'll be able to maintain my focus and not get overawed by the occasion.

I had so much respect for him out on court. I hope I can play him again many times ... and why not here?
good hitting knew lead passing returned short shots start
He really started out unbelievably to lead 4-1, but I knew that my shots were going too short and that I had to start hitting deeper. From then on I think I returned well, had some good passing shots.
enjoy experience final fourth good great hope meet player
This is my fourth final and I just hope to enjoy myself and play my game. Previously I haven't been able to do that in finals. It's great to meet the No.1 player in the world, it will be a good experience for me.

For me, tennis is a sport. It's not a job, it's a sport.
simple luck looks
I keep like simple thing in my head, so obviously is working. Then it's luck. To be honest, look at set point. I hit one of the worst drop shots I ever hit and he hit a frame It's pure luck, you know, to haven't drop a set. So you need to have it sometime, and I hope I will have more.

I won't lie to you - it's better to have someone to help you. I need it.
