We all had, at some point, matches we should have won and we didn't and that's the game. That's just the way the sport is. Otherwise, if everything was written before, we don't need to play.

I definitely wanted this win today and I don't want anybody to talk about my nerves anymore.

Well, I guess I needed this tough first round to really put me into that tournament, to really erase what happened at Indian Wells, which is now the case, you know.

This trophy is so special in the world of tennis and it feels great.

I have been amongst the best players in the world for 8 years. None at that level played as many ties as I did.

It took me time to adjust and to realise it was not going to happen like it did in the juniors.
