WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID
Djokovic: “He is the king of clay and he is the best player ever to play
on this surface. I have won against him twice in the last eight days
which I think is incredible, an incredible achievement for me, and he
has given me a lot of confidence for the French Open. This is only a
couple of tournaments this year and he has since been dominant on this
surface for so many, many years.”
“I am most happy about the game this year on clay. The way I was
fighting all the way, I am confident and aware and [have] self-belief
that I can win against the top players.”
“It is an incredible honour to be part of the history in some ways and
part of the elite of players like Federer and Nadal and McEnroe and
Lendl and those players who have won many matches in a row.”
Nadal: “My level felt much better today than it did in Madrid. I was
able to go inside the court and move well and to play more aggressive,
and I think I did. I am not disappointed about my match and I am not sad
tonight. We will try next time.”
“I have been doing everything that I can so I cannot ask myself more. I
am trying and I am doing very well, but one player is doing better than
me. The champion in my opinion is not only be able to win every week; it
is when they are able to wait at the right moments and I am waiting at
every week, trying to find solutions, and we will see what is going on
next time… I wish him all the best and I have to wait my moment to win
another time.”
