WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Youzhny: "This is my most important title for sure, to win at home in front of family and friends is just incredible. I had never played well here, I was always too nervous. If I can play well now and win under this pressure, it is very important for me.

"I had so many chances in the final set to win more easily, [including] two games lost from 0-40 on his serve. But I kept telling myself to go for it.

"Twenty years ago, for the first Kremlin Cup, I was here watching the matches with my father and I was also a ball kid here. It means so much to finally win here."

Tipsarevic: "I am disappointed. I played good, but not good enough. Misha played better and fully deserved to win.

"After the first set I got tired and Misha was fresher than me. However I kept fighting until the end and did not hand it to him."

Cuevas: "I am very happy, this is a great tournament and it’s nice to end on such a good note. Marcel and I have played together only a few times and we’ve always done well but this is our first title together. We had a great time this week."
